It didn’t matter that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was back, or that the Steelers have perhaps the most fearsome offensive trio in football.
The Ravens defense absolutely dominated Sunday.
It wasn’t always pretty, but Baltimore ground out a 21-14 victory over their arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens not only snapped a four-game losing streak, but took over first place in a depressed AFC North. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh are 4-4, but the Ravens hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Cincinnati Bengals are 3-4-1.
Pittsburgh didn’t get on the scoreboard until there was less than nine minutes left in the game.
