The Pittsburgh Steelers needed a win last night. They came into the game 1-5, and with the Baltimore Ravens’ victory earlier in the day, were looking at possibly being in a three-game hole in the AFC North already, with a loss to Baltimore already in their rearview mirror.
And they were going to be starting a rookie undrafted free agent at quarterback who didn’t even make their initial 53-man roster in Devlin Hodges. While Hodges didn’t do much to hurt the team’s chances, the Steelers understood they would need a complete, collective effort to produce a team win, and that’s what they did.
