The Steelers travel to Baltimore and end the Ravens undefeated season.  The Big Three of Jackson, Golden, and Brown played just over a half, but the real story was the Ravens starting defense's inability to stop the Steelers.  I expect this will be a major focus with the upcoming playoffs on the horizon.  

Josh Rosen played one of his best games of the season.  Rosen ended the game with 372 yards on 19 of 25 passing and 4 touchdowns.  The offensive line was manhandled in the run game for the majority of the snaps, but they were able to hold the Ravens to a single sack of Rosen.  The running game was unable to really establish any type of sustained success, but Roman Whitlock did find the end zone on short run.  The Steelers main weapon on offense was Kahlil Wallace who led the team in catches, yards, and touchdowns, posting a stat line of 6 for 176 and 2 touchdowns.  His longest catch was an 88 yard touchdown.  Deon Traynor came up with some clutch catches as well, including a touchdown in the first half. 

The defense left a little to be desired after posting consecutive solid efforts.  Despite the high points allowed, they did play solid for most of the game.  They were just unable to stop the Ravens from dropping big scoring play after big scoring play.  Redmon Blackwood continued his tear and recorded another 3 sacks, moving his season total to a career high 21.  He also had a forced fumble that was recovered by rookie linebacker Phillip Lyle.  Lyle recorded his first sack of his career last week and his second was tonight.  The Steelers had a total of 6 sacks.  They brought down Lamar Jackson 3 times and forced a fumble, while also sacking backup JT Washington 3 times as well.  

The Steelers keep their slim playoff hopes alive and face a tough, but underachieving Cleveland team to close out the season.
