Pittsburgh ravens game

A shocking statistic: Ben Roethlisberger somehow only ranks 27th among 30 qualified QBs this season in the percentage of his 3rd and 4th down completions that don't get a first down. Truly cannot believe it. The year-old is a franchise legend and likely a first-ballot Hall of Famer. The Steelers' problems extend beyond the quarterback position as well, so heaping all of the team's misfortune on Big Ben would be misguided. But it was apparent in that Roethlisberger was no longer making Pittsburgh better.

The team could find itself on stronger footing in with a quarterback change. Lamar Jackson missed his fourth straight game because of an ankle injury, which left Huntley as Baltimore's starting quarterback. Huntley has played reasonably well while spelling Jackson this year, but he couldn't cope with the wet conditions Sunday.

He had two interceptions and a fumble. With the passing game failing to fire, Murray picked a great time to have his first yard outing as a member of the Ravens. He looked like the player who earned a Pro Bowl trip as a member of the Oakland Raiders. Huntley was also dangerous on the ground, adding to a solid rushing attack in the season finale. His three turnovers proved costly, though.

The offense also went 3-of on third downs, which underscores how the unit's work on first and second down was making it difficult to keep moving the chains. A spate of injuries in September set the tone for the Ravens' campaign. Things didn't get any easier from there, especially on defense.

The team would've been in trouble even if Jackson had replicated his MVP form. This is going to seem like a bold take, but I hope you're read for it: The Ravens were more enjoyable to watch -- win or lose -- with Lamar doing superhero stuff at quarterback. Head coach John Harbaugh and his staff might be looking forward to turning the page to The Steelers will be watching Sunday night's game between Las Vegas and Los Angeles to see whether its season will continue.

I'm just appreciative of it, and particularly, some some of those young ones. The growth and development of these young guys throughout this journey and the negativity that's usually associated with growth and development did not take away from their efforts.

They smiled in the face of it, and I'm appreciative of that. He's been smiling in the face of adversity for 18 years. Even though it's not surprising, it's still appreciated. We've got a lot of warts, but we're here. That's been our position since September. I'm just appreciative of that mental fortitude being displayed by those men in that locker room. I think it shows something about this team that you can fight and never give up.

You guys have asked me a million times what's the issue [with the slow starts], but it would be nice to figure it out now. For whatever reason, it didn't feel like, 'OK, this is it.

It's almost over. Playing these guys is always one when you wake up the next day and you're hurting. It's never dirty, it's just good, old-fashioned football. Someone on the sidelines asked me if this is how these games always go. I can only think of one or two times where it wasn't something like this. I'm just so thankful for this rivalry and thankful for the games and the players that I've gotten to play against in this rivalry, and just proud that we were able to get it today.

So many people helped make this happen. Watt a half a sack. Watt for a half-sack on Huntley's first-quarter fumble. The Steelers will likely travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs in the wild card round assuming that the Raiders and Chargers do not tie each other on Sunday night. The Ravens will be home for the playoffs for the first time since , the year before they drafted future league MVP Lamar Jackson.

Coach Tomlin addresses the media following the steelers win over the Ravens. Johnson drops the third down throw, and the Steelers call timeout to discuss their options. A punt is not an option. So it's either a yard try of going for it on fourth down. Steelers just can't get anything going on the ground. Harris gets two on first down. Really not sure why they went away from the jet sweep. Dointae Johnson picks up the first down.

Johnson beat Jimmy Smith by going inside then cutting outside for the first down catch. Wow, Roethlisberger hits Freiermuth for a yard gain. Really good coverage by the Ravens but pass was just better.

Roethlisberger shorts it to Claypool, so it's third and seven. A tie does neither of these teams any good. Injury TO as Justin Houston leaves the field.

If I'm the Steelers I get Claypool going again on a jet sweep. Nice first down completion to Najee Harris for He had Johnson open too but Big Ben hits Harris on the opposite side.
