Pittsburgh Steelers 43 Baltimore Ravens 23 recap

The Sunday Night of week 9 saw face to face 2 AFC north franchises in a huge rivarly game. The Ravens traveled to Pittsburgh with the intent to increase to lead in the division and complete the season's sweep to the Steelers but Pittsburgh had a completely different intent and after a slow start they played a great game, Ravens scored the 1st TD of the game with a fly route to Torrey Smith who beat CB McCain with his speed and size. After that Baltimore continue to play great on the defensive side with 3 sacks and great pressure inside to stop the Steelers' running game and this took away the play-actions to limit Pittsburgh to quick outs.
The game changed when McCain recovered a fumble lost by Ravens' RB Lorenzo Taliaferro force by LB Moats, after that Pittsburgh gained confidence but with still struggling to run the football even the passing game was great until Roethlisberger found Bell on a 3rd down for a receiving TD, the even Steelers' defense continue to gave offense other chances to score intercepting Flacco who threw an awful ball directly to Worilds, right after this interception Ben found for the 4th TD of the season to rookie WR Bryant that gave Pittsburgh an huge advantage. Big Ben's show didn't end with Bryant's TD but he continued a beautiful 47 yards throw to WR Weathon on a fly route, the man who has been missed so far in the game Antonio Brown closed the game out on a big play. By the way the Ravens tried again to cameback with a great kick-off return by Jacoby Jones but ufortunately for them Pittsburgh shut the door on them.
In last weeks the Steelers are playing great with Big Ben who seems that he finally have found confidence in young WRs like Bryant and Weathon an their defense that probably is not great as it was at SB times but they're so good to create turnovers and this combination of factors is making the Steelers flying high. The Ravens need to find the continuity to be a playoffs team, their running game is so important because it takes away so much pressure from Flacco who is so good in the administration of the game but not in playing in a forced passing situation.
I think that this division wil be so fun to be watch until the last week because there are 4 teams and all of them are in the conversation to go into the playoffs.
