Two trains, one track, and it was quite clear which train won the battle Sunday inside Acrisure Stadium between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers.
That would be the Ravens’ run game, which rolled downhill time and time again throughout Sunday’s 16-14 win over the Steelers to the tune of 215 yards and a touchdown on 42 carries (5.1 yards per carry). In the war of attrition in the trenches, the Ravens dominated throughout the game.
Following the rather frustrating loss, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he believed the Steelers were worn down by the Ravens falling forward consistently with the pile, which can take a toll on a defense, as shown by the performance of the black and gold down the stretch, especially in the fourth quarter.
