Baltimore Ravens Superstar Punished.

The Baltimore Ravens suffered a sad loss to Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game last weekend. During pregame warmups, Chiefs quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce exchanged heated words with Ravens kicker Justin Tucker. However, during a critical period of the game, a Baltimore superstar was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct, which has resulted in his being disciplined by the league.

Baltimore Ravens’ Superstar Punished

With less than a minute remaining in the third quarter with Baltimore behind 17-7, the star receiver made a 54-yard reception that would have put the offense on the 10-yard line. L’Jarius Sneed, a Chiefs defender, grabbed Flowers’ leg after the catch, causing the receiver to shove him down and flip the ball near him while standing over him and flexing. This prompted a flag from the officials, sending the Ravens back 15 yards from the end of the reception.

Following Flowers’ severe penalty, Baltimore’s momentum on the drive appeared to wane, and it was eventually interrupted by a fumble by the star receiver just before crossing the goal line, resulting in a touchback and giving Kansas City possession. With the final score 17-10 in favor of the Chiefs, the touchdown would have advanced the game to overtime, giving Baltimore a chance to advance to the Super Bowl.

Did Flowers Deserve The Punishment?

It’s safe to assume that Flowers’ tragic sequence of events contributed significantly to the Ravens’ loss, and the NFL’s large fine is simply the icing on the cake. Even though Baltimore did not make it to the big game, their future appears promising, particularly for Flowers, who had a fantastic rookie season leading up to the game. Do you think Flowers deserved the large fine imposed by the league, or were his actions justifiable given the prominence of the game?
