Steelers' Wilson laments 2 turnovers in loss: 'Can't let that happen'

Quarterback Russell Wilson believes his two turnovers were the main reason the Pittsburgh Steelers lost 34-17 to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.

"It's just really two negative plays," the signal-caller said postgame, according to ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "I felt like I was seeing it well. I thought the guys made some really good plays.

He added, "We knew it was going to be a tough fight throughout the end, and they made two plays on us that were significant plays, and, unfortunately, I can't let that happen."

With the game tied 7-7 early in the second quarter, Wilson fumbled inside Baltimore's 5-yard line after taking a big hit on a 19-yard scramble.

"It's unacceptable," Wilson said of the fumble. "It can't happen."

Just one play after the Steelers' defense forced an interception from Lamar Jackson, Wilson threw a pick-6 to Marlon Humphrey, which extended Baltimore's lead to 14 early in the fourth quarter.

"I think that definitely changed the game when they got that interception," Wilson said. "I thought the defense did a good job of getting the ball back, and I was trying to throw it to (MyCole Pruitt) in his front number. I felt like the ball just stayed inside, unfortunately, and they made a play."

The 36-year-old Wilson completed 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. His 38 quarterback rating is his second lowest in a game he's started this season, according to ESPN.

Since Wilson's 414-yard, three-touchdown performance against the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 1, the nine-time Pro Bowler has thrown for just 503 yards over his last three starts, going 1-2.

Pittsburgh now sits at 10-5 with two games remaining in the regular season.
