Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is not winning over many fans with his in-game interview with NBC’s Melissa Stark.
With the Ravens down 9-0 at the end of the first quarter, Stark asked Harbaugh about a taunting penalty on cornerback Marcus Peters that cost Baltimore 10 yards and eventually a touchdown. Harbaugh responded with a simple “Well, I didn’t like that last penalty.”
Stark attempted to reframe the question by asking what he planned to tell his team defensively before being cut off by Harbaugh who said, “We’ll be fine, our guys will be fine. It’s going to be a hard-fought game out here, we’re going to play a good game.”
The cherry on top of the already-icy interview was Stark’s final question about whether or not viewers could expect to see backup quarterback Anthony Brown following an early interception by Tyler Huntley.

People on social media immediately took note of the interaction, with responses ranging from jokes to frustration on behalf of Stark.
