PIT-BAL grades: Ravens’ defense shuts down Big Ben, Steelers in win

Baltimore Ravens 21, Pittsburgh Steelers 14

Here are the biggest takeaways and highest-graded players from the Baltimore Ravens’ 21-14 Week 9 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers:

Quarterback grade: Joe Flacco, 45.6

Flacco comes away with the win, but grades poorly overall

Joe Flacco did not have a stellar performance, as evidenced by his low game grade. Flacco’s lone touchdown pass came on a short slant that Mike Wallace stretched into a long scoring play. Flacco’s QB rating plummeted to 32.3 when he was pressured by the Steelers, and Flacco only completed 1-of -6 passes targeted further than nine yards downfield.
