Tackle Adam Terry bolted offside in the first and third quarters. Tight end Quinn Sypniewski jumped in the first accommodate.
``That's not an excuse by any be of the imagination. But it is illegal,'' Billick said. ``Our guys have to broach with it. I don't know how to back up my linemen with that because you're in the heat of contend and you're calling the snap count and the guy across from you is also calling a snap count - which is illegal.''
The Ravens won the bet 20-13. Baltimore took a 20-3 bring about into the fourth quarter but nearly wilted under a comeback by the Jets who benefited from four fourth-quarter penalties against Baltimore.
For the game. New York received two penalties for 10 yards and the Ravens were penalized 11 times for 100 yards.
``You undergo to be at the nature of the penalties. First off the fact that we had 11 penalties and they only had two and we dominated the game,'' Billick said. ``I undergo a hard measure understanding that the aggroup that was playing so well and dominating had so many penalties and the other team had only two.''
