Hats off to the Baltimore Ravens for being better than the Pittsburgh Steelers tonight. While they certainly didn’t dominate like they did in week 1, they made the plays when they had to.
Interestingly enough, what had been the Steelers strengths during their now ended winning streak. Ben Roethlisberger was wild and inaccurate early on, and their secondary suffered a series of major breakdowns.

The loss was certainly hard to stomach, but I’ve been encouraged by how the team has been playing since the Texans’ game. Had a play or two gone the other way Sunday night, the Steelers would have won, and people would be dreaming of a first round bye. If the team can stay on this current roll of effective play, even if they head into the playoffs as a wildcard, I like their chances to advance fairly deep.
