The Baltimore Ravens were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers by the final score of 16-13 in overtime in Week 18. It was a crushing loss to a cruel season. It marked the sixth-straight loss by Baltimore, ending their season on a low note after starting the year 8-3.
Injuries were a key talking point for the team over the course of the 2021 season, and the woes continued after the game, as it was reported by Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reported that the team fears that outside linebacker Tyus Bowser suffered a torn achilles in their Week 18 game against Pittsburgh.
Ravens sustain one more major injury in a season full of them. Fear is that OLB Tyus Bowser, who may have been the Ravens' most consistent player this season, tore his Achilles.

Bowser had a great 2021 season for Baltimore, finishing the year with a team-high seven sacks to go along with 53 total tackles, four passes defended and two forced fumbles. The timing of the injury would mean that Bowser most likely wouldn’t be ready for the start of the 2022 season, which would be a crushing blow to the Ravens’ defense.
