Running back Cam Skattebo had an unnecessary roughness penalty called on him in the first quarter when he ran over safety M.J. Stewart; officials ruled that Skattebo illegally used his helmet to make contact, negating a 7-yard run. Head coach John Harbaugh defended Skattebo's technique, saying he was "quite sure [Skattebo]'s not trying to use his helmet as a weapon" and that "He's leading with his shoulder. That's what he's trying to do." Harbaugh noted Skattebo had fumble issues that resulted in a benching a week ago.
