It was far from pretty. The winning team didn’t score a touchdown on offense. In the end, the Baltimore Ravens did enough to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 13-10.
The Steelers struck first when back up quarterback Byron Leftwich scrambled for a 31 yard touchdown just :31 seconds into the game. It was the last time the Steelers would find the end zone.
The Ravens only trip to the end zone came at the end of the first quarter when Jacoby Jones returned a Steelers punt 63 yards for a touchdown.
In the end, Justin Tucker kicked one more field goal then Shaun Suisham did.
The game was a battle of wills with both team delivering bone shivering hits in shutting down the other team’s offense.
The Ravens defense forced three turnovers and had a pair of sacks.
The win gave the Ravens a two game lead in the AFC North over the Steelers with the tiebreaker now in hand.
Next week, the Ravens (8-2) will travel to San Diego to play the Chargers, and the Steelers (6-4) will travel to Cleveland to play the Browns.
