There was the close game we expected three times last year and never really got. For the fifth time since 2008, the Ravens and Steelers played to a 23-20 finish. In typical Thursday night fashion, the game balanced ugliness with excitement to keep your attention in only the way a Sarah Jessica Parker movie could rival. Both teams were within striking distance late, but the Ravens showed the value of having a good kicker.
We will cover the other close games in Week 4 in Clutch Encounters on Tuesday as usual, but this is a special Friday edition of the latest chapter in the Ravens-Steelers rivalry.
