PITTSBURGH -- Two plays. That's all the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense needed to make a statement -- forcing and recovering a rare Derrick Henry fumble in Sunday's 18-16 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.
And as the clock wound down in the fourth quarter, Joey Porter Jr. slung quarterback Lamar Jackson out of bounds on what would've been a game-tying two-point conversion to put a final exclamation point on a complete defensive performance against the MVP front-runner and the league's highest-scoring offense.
"Going into the week, we knew how important this game was," Steelers defensive back DeShon Elliott said.
