On a drive that the Pittsburgh Steelers desperately needed, the Black and Gold got some key contributions in the passing game from a pair of unlikely sources.
Following a 44-yard contested-catch down the Steelers’ sideline from WR Calvin Austin III, and then a pivotal 16-yard catch on a 3rd and 6 from Austin, the Steelers were able to drive down and tie the game at 17-17 in the third quarter as QB Russell Wilson lofted a pass to RB Cordarrelle Patterson for a 12-yard touchdown.
Patterson made a difficult catch through contact, showing off great concentration to hold onto the ball while falling to the ground as Ravens’ LB Malik Harrison was in coverage.
