I\u2019m glad he is on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it was a huge revenge game for Queen, who finished as the Steelers\u2019 leading tackler. The linebacker\u00a0recorded 10 total tackles, including 1 tackle for a loss and 1 key forced fumble\/recovery that produced a\u00a0Chris Boswell\u00a0field goal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><iframe class=\"ql-video\" src=\"https:\/\/video.twimg.com\/amplify_video\/1858231923178434561\/vid\/avc1\/1920x1080\/GhBD5ArOj03j-dkQ.mp4?tag=16\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Considering Pittsburgh won 18-16, that lone turnover was enough to swing the game in the Steelers\u2019 favor \u2014 and you might say Queen was one of the clear difference makers in this one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers\u2019 Patrick Queen Felt \u2018Content,\u2019 Not Angry vs. Ravens<\/h2>\n<p>Tomlin named Queen as one of his team captains as the Steelers took the field for Week 11. After the victory,\u00a0Queen told reporters\u00a0that this was not a request, and that his head coach \u201ctold him\u201d that he would be wearing a \u201cC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As usual, Tomlin appears to have pushed the right buttons as Queen expressed that he \u201cappreciated\u201d and \u201crespected\u201d the responsibility. The linebacker also shared that he thought he would be more \u201cpissed off\u201d entering this matchup with his former team. That wasn\u2019t the case according to the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWoke up this morning, I didn\u2019t feel any anger,\u201d Queen said. \u201cJust felt content with life and the game, and just being where I\u2019m supposed to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, [from the] outside in, in the past I wasn\u2019t thinking \u2014 God put me in this place for a reason,\u201d he continued. \u201cI was just heated at the situation that occurred. So, I just gave my faith to God and just trusted him \u2014 that I was in the right place for a reason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Queen also relayed that he didn\u2019t really trash talk the Ravens sideline after forcing the fumble on tight end\u00a0Isaiah Likely.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing was said, it was just supposed to be,\u201d he noted. \u201cI don\u2019t have no anger, no animosity towards them. It\u2019s just football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked, Queen confirmed that he did not speak with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh after the Week 11 win.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Steelers\u2019 Patrick Queen Was Comfortable Being the \u2018Villain\u2019 vs. Ravens<\/h2>\n<p>While\u00a0speaking with reporters\u00a0ahead of Week 11, Queen made it clear that he\u2019s comfortable being labeled a \u201cvillain\u201d if that\u2019s how his former fanbase views him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m whatever they want to call me,\u201d the linebacker replied. He also admitted that he initially had the matchup with his former team circled on the calendar, but that his mindset changed as the Steelers became his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou get over all that stuff and you just play football,\u201d Queen added at the time. \u201cYou just go out there each game, take one game at a time and just play football for your team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having said all that, he did acknowledge that it was initially \u201cupsetting\u201d that the Ravens did not offer him a new contract in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day\u2026 the first few months, you definitely go through those feelings,\u201d Queen expressed on November 13. He added that now, \u201cyou just want to win games [and] want to win with your new teammates [and] bond with those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything that you do is for this organization that you\u2019re in now,\u201d he concluded on Wednesday. \u201cLike I said, I will have feelings. Anybody in my position would this week. So, just take one day at a time and whatever happens, happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyPittsburgh Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen was integral in his new team&#8217;s Week 11 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
