This is absolutely ridiculous, in my opinion, that the Ravens would try to call this out as unsportsmanlike. Of course they would do anything to avoid being shutout. If you want credit for a shutout, stop em.

I think its even more whiny than complaining about running up the score. At least with running up the dcore a case can be made about disrespect/embarrassment or something. But you were going to embarrass them by shutting them out And they did there best to avoid the embarrassment and YOU have a problem because you only won by 24 instead of 27? Really?Boo frickety hoo, Ravens. They get paid to score the same as you get paid to stop them from scoring.
Same argument is valid when teams whine about having the “score run up” on them.
I find it a good sign. The team could quit, instead it shows you have character and care enough to not want to be shut out. Just the opposite of unsportsmanlike.I've never considered a team not wanting to be shut out as unsportsmanlike. Actually, I've never really given any thought to it at all. Just seems a little petty to me but what do I know.
Yeah but saying “we should’ve shut them ou” or I wish we would’ve shut them out” is far different from questioning their sportsmanship for avoiding the shutout.All I can add to this is, maybe the Ravens DC has an incentive in his contract, for shutouts. IDK.
