Pittsburgh Review

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a narrow victory over the Baltimore Ravens with an 18-16 win at Acrisure Stadium. The game, marked by defensive prowess, saw Chris Boswell kicking six field goals to lead the Steelers to victory in their first division game of the season.

The Steelers, now holding an 8-2 record, managed to limit Baltimore's offense, which entered the game as one of the league's top performers. Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL MVP, completed 16 of 33 passes for 207 yards but struggled against Pittsburgh's defense.

"I like the way our guys responded to the challenge, particularly our defense," said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. "A lot was written and said about that offense coming into this game, and rightfully so. They have a lot of talent. They have a lot of weapons. They have good schematics."

Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward commented on their performance against Jackson: "Lamar is a great talent," he said. "But we've got great players over here, too."

Russell Wilson threw for 205 yards with one interception for Pittsburgh while they rushed for 122 yards overall. The Steelers capitalized on turnovers early in the game when Nick Herbig forced a fumble recovered by DeShon Elliott at Baltimore's 42-yard line.

Baltimore's kicker Justin Tucker missed two field goal attempts early in the match but eventually scored from 54 yards out in the third quarter.

Despite some challenges including questionable penalties and an interception thrown by Wilson in the end zone, Boswell’s consistent kicking helped maintain Pittsburgh’s lead throughout most of the game.

The Ravens mounted a late comeback attempt with Jackson throwing a touchdown pass to Zay Flowers but failed on a two-point conversion try thwarted by Joey Porter Jr.'s tackle.

"I was just making a play for our defense," said Porter regarding his crucial stop during Baltimore’s final offensive effort.

Baltimore opted not to attempt an onside kick after their last score; instead choosing traditional kick-off hoping to regain possession through timeouts but were unable to prevent Pittsburgh from running down remaining clock time effectively ending any further scoring opportunities they might have had left open otherwise under different circumstances perhaps altogether more favorable than
