The stop gave the Steelers more than enough time to mount a game-winning drive that saw Pickett go 5 of 6 for 64 yards. Pittsburgh got its necessary stop when Heyward and linebacker Mark Robinson combined to stuff Dobbins for no gain on a third-and-2 play from the Ravens' 44-yard-line with 5:05 left. Trailing 13-9, the Steelers needed a stop by their defense in order to give the ball back to their offense after Baltimore's defense forced a punt with 6:32 left. It also contributed to the Ravens converting on less than half of their dozen third-down situations. While both players were largely effective, Baltimore's lack of offensive diversity contributed to the Ravens scoring just three points during the game's final 30 minutes. On offense, the Ravens largely leaned on Andrews and J.K. Throughout the night, Baltimore's defense was also unable to slow down the Steelers' duo of Harris and Warren, who combined to run for 187 yards on 34 carries. The pass rush was a nonfactor at that point in the game, while Baltimore's secondary struggled to contain Pickett and the Steelers' passing attack. Why the Ravens lostīaltimore's defense was unable to make a game-changing play during the Steelers' last two possessions. Pickett, Harris and Jaylen Warren (who rushed for 76 yards on 12 carries) took advantage of an exceptional effort by the Steelers offensive line that helped Pittsburgh rack up 198 rushing yards. And while they struggled in the red zone for most of the game, Pittsburgh's offense found the end zone when it needed to. The Steelers defense made several other big stops throughout the game. Boswell made both of his second-half field goal tries, while Heyward was part of a big third-down stop that set up Pittsburgh's game-winning drive.
Both players made up for those miscues in the second half. Pittsburgh overcame several self-inflicted wounds that included Boswell's missed first-half field goal and Cam Heyward's unnecessary roughness penalty that led to the Ravens' only touchdown just before halftime.
RAVENS LIVE SCORE FULL
Here's a full breakdown of what transpired on Sunday night. The loss dropped Baltimore to 10-6 and 1.5 games behind Cincinnati for first place in the AFC North.
The Ravens offense was lead by Mark Andrews, whose 100 yards on nine catches wasn't enough on a night where points were at a premium. Pickett was aided all night by Harris, who recorded his first 100-yard rushing performance of the season. Pittsburgh's defense then finished the job when Minkah Fitzpatrick picked off Tyler Huntley with 13 seconds left. Pickett's completions of 20 yards to Pat Freiermuth and 28 yards to Steven Sims set up his game-winning touchdown pass. The Steelers defense then forced a punt before watching Pickett orchestrate an 80-yard, game-winning drive that culminated with his 10-yard pass to Harris with 56 seconds left. Trailing 13-3, Pickett helped lead two second-half scoring drives that ended with Chris Boswell field goals. The Steelers have won five of their six games after a 3-7 start. The win keeps Pittsburgh (8-8) alive in the race to earn the AFC's seventh playoff seed. A year later, Roethlisberger's successor, Kenny Pickett, led Pittsburgh to a dramatic, last-minute win in Baltimore that kept the Steelers' playoff hopes alive.Ī month after leaving the first Steelers-Ravens game early, Pickett's game-winning touchdown pass to Najee Harris lifted Pittsburgh to a 16-13 win. Ben Roethlisberger capped off his stellar 18-year career by leading the Steelers to a come-from-behind win in Baltimore.
