John Harbaugh on Ravens' Week 18 Loss to Bengals: 'Our Players Played a Clean Game'

The Bengals host the Ravens in the Wild Card round of the playoffs on Sunday night.
In this story:

CINCINNATI — The Bengals' Week 18 win over the Ravens got chippy at times, especially with linebacker Roquan Smith making some questionable taunts after the whistle. 

"Everybody, for the most part, came out good. I don’t think anybody is tripping too hard. We’ll be ready to see them on Sunday," DJ Reader said. "They can do whatever they want. Maybe it’s just the way they play and that’s the coaching they get. It is what it is. We could do this again today. I could go back out there and play them right now again. I don’t care, man. I’m just ready to see them again on Sunday. We’ll be prepared, we’ll be ready, we’ll be out there."

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh dismissed the idea that his team played a dirty game. 

“I studied the game really closely, obviously. Anybody can, and it’s clear our players played a clean game, as they always do," Harbaugh said. "Millions of fans watched the game as well, and they saw the same thing. So, I would just say let them be the judges, but I’m not going to get into that. I don’t get into that with other teams, nor about other teams—never have, never will.”

Cincinnati and Baltimore run it back in the Wild Card round on Sunday at 8:15 p.m. ET. The game is available on NBC via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
