The Ravens have been eliminated from the playoffs and they can only hope to damage the Steelers playoff hopes right now. As we enter into the holiday season and into the third game of the Jimmy Clausen era, let's reflect upon another Ravens-Steelers matchup that had playoff implications and a happy ending.
The Ravens entered Week Nine of the 2011 season 5-2 looking to complete a season sweep against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field. The first half started out slowly, as both teams were only able to kick field goals. The Ravens would walk into halftime with a 9-6 lead.
