Pittsburgh’s Comeback Steels Ravens Season
The best teams can adjust to anything.
The Baltimore Ravens got off to a early lead in Pittsburgh grabbing 14 points off of uncharacteristic Steeler turnovers. The Ravens defense had Roethlisberger in check and the offense had control of the game. But like most great coaching staffs, adjustments were made at half time. The Steelers took charge with 24 points in the second half, while their defense only allowed a field goal.
“He may not be (Tom) Brady or all those other guys, but when I see him in the huddle I know we’ve got a chance to win,” said Hines Ward, who caught a TD pass in the second half. “He’s a proven winner, and history shows he’s a proven winner against Baltimore.”
The momentum was also shifted in the 3rd quarter after Ray Rice, a notoriously clutch RB fumbled at the worst time.
“We felt good at the half,” Rice said. “Our defense had them stopped and I thought we were going to come out and handle our business. But then the situation happened: fumble, turnover, another turnover.”
