They lost to the Texans twice, once blowing a huge lead in the final three minutes and the second time playing a awful all-around football game at home in the biggest spot of the season. Mosley said, is the next installment of the Ravens-Steelers hard-hitting rivalry. “Not only the playmakers and the quarterback, but we’ve got a great offensive coordinator (Todd Haley), who’s out there and putting us in that situation in practice all the time”. They are ones of tactical errors, like trying to do too much with a drive-stopping turnover in the opponent’s redzone. “We have eight days before we play Miami, but I expect to go out there and try to be at my best”. If Waller holds on, the Ravens go up two touchdowns instead of just 20-10. Obviously, they’re going to scheme up some stuff, and we’re going to do the same. But when he scored the touchdown to beat the Ravens, one reminiscent of Santonio Holmes’ AFC North-clinching catch in a 13-9 victory over the Ravens in 2008, Brown handed the ball to left guard Ramon Foster so he could spike it.
Housekeeping for 2017: With one week to go, the 8-7 Ravens are now slotted to pick 17th overall in the 2017 draft. Sunday’s contest will be his 47 National Football League game – regular season and playoffs.
Tomlin has taken different tacks the previous two times Pittsburgh headed into Week 17 with nothing on the line. He threw a pair of third-quarter interceptions that put the Steelers in a 10-point hole that put their playoff chances in serious jeopardy before leading Pittsburgh (10-5) to touchdowns on its final three drives.
The Ravens finish the season this week playing against Cincinnati in a game that means nothing to either team.
Which is why as the bubbly starts flowing with Pittsburgh celebrating its fifth division title over the past decade, the time feels right to use this game as a case study to ask a larger playoff question. After winning six straight games, it isn’t likely the Steelers want to just roll over and give the Browns their second win.
Baltimore is still in contention because Mosley tipped a 2-point conversion pass against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. “That is what I pointed toward, is the next game”, Harbaugh said. From Starter to Veteran to Pro Bowl to Hall of Fame, each level brings with it a new set of benefits and rewards. “He trusted me to come in there and not get stopped”, Brown said. He’s a very quiet, humble kid. “He made the play, and I didn’t on that one”. I love our guys. I love being around him. “We have a week of football left to play and we intend to make the most of it”.
With seconds remaining and no timeouts against the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field on Sunday, the Steelers went for it against their division rival, a team to whom they’d lost four in a row.
