Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh was caught on camera making fun of the Pittsburgh Steelers when he hadn’t authorized filming.

John Harbaugh wasn’t just excited after early action on Week 10 Sunday that his Baltimore Ravens beat the Tennessee Titans. He was happy because his team got some help along the way. However, when CBS cameras caught Harbaugh celebrating the loss of division rival Pittsburgh Steelers, tensions rose in the Baltimore front office, where they quickly rebuked the network.

CBS cameras rolled too early in the Ravens locker room, where Harbaugh said to his players, per ESPN, “That team beat us last week and then went and got their a– kicked this week.”

The Steelers beat the Ravens a week earlier 43-23 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. The Steelers then proceeded to lay an egg in New York where the Jets won 20-13. Now both teams remain tied in the standings at 6-4, which is good for last place by a half game in the crowded AFC North.

The Ravens were furious with CBS for airing comments that Harbaugh had previously asked to not be aired or reproduced in any way.

“The comments made by John Harbaugh in the locker room following today’s victory over the Titans were meant for Ravens players and coaches only,” the Ravens said in the statement. “The CBS-TV crew that was in the locker room was told by Coach Harbaugh that it could not broadcast what he was about to say. When Coach Harbaugh finished talking about various things happening around the NFL and in the AFC North, he told the crew that it could now use what he was going to say. Inexplicably, CBS-TV then aired comments Coach Harbaugh specifically said were not to leave the locker room. CBS-TV immediately pulled the video and apologized to the Ravens.”
