Baltimore Ravens 23, Pittsburgh Steelers 20
Joe Flacco worked his magic last night. With the Ravens down 20-16 late in the 4th quarter, Flacco and his teammates embarked on a 92-yard TD drive to beat the hated Steelers on their own field last night! Flacco hit rookie WR Torrey Smith with a perfect 26-yard TD strike with only 8 seconds left in the game! Joe Flacco completed 28 of 47 passes for 300 yards with 1 TD pass and 0 INTs last night, as he was pretty darn impressive. Ray Rice had a rough night as he carried the ball 18 times for 43 yards (2.4 ypc) with 1 TD run and he also caught 5 passes for 43 yards (8.6 avg) in this game. Ricky Williams pitched in with 9 carries for 24 yards (2.7 ypc) in this game. WRs Anquan Boldin (7 rec, 88 yards), Torrey Smith (5 rec, 71 yards, TD) and TE Dennis Pitta (5 rec, 46 yards) led the way for the Ravens in the passing game. The Ravens finished up with 67 yards rushing on 27 carries (2.5 ypc) and they also completed 28 of 47 passes (59.6%) for 289 yards as they had possession of the ball for 33:59.
The defense was awesome for the first three quarters for the Ravens last night, but in the fourth quarter they gave up the lead as the Steelers scored 2 TDs. Safety Bernard Pollard (7 tackles and 1 pass defensed) and CB Lardarius Webb (6 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss) led the way for the Ravens in this game. DE Paul Kruger (fumble recovery) and OLB Terrell Suggs (interception) also made huge plays in this game for the Ravens. The Steelers finished up with 70 yards rushing on 20 carries (3.5 ypc) and they also completed 20 of 37 passes (54.1%) for 322 yards.
