There was plenty of motivation for the Steelers and Ravens with the AFC North lead on the line, but perhaps a little extra for ILB Patrick Queen. He had his fifth-year option declined by Baltimore ahead of the 2023 season, then wasn’t offered any contract by the Ravens in 2024 free agency. The Steelers made him their prized signing of the offseason, and Sunday was his first time playing against his former team.
He made one of the biggest plays of the day giving the Steelers the ball back before the half by ripping it out of TE Isaiah Likely’s grasp for a forced fumble.
