Steelers Defense Dominates Ravens, Securing Division Lead
Why it matters: The Pittsburgh Steelers showcased their defensive prowess in an 18-16 victory against the Baltimore Ravens, limiting one of the league's most potent offenses.
What's new: The Steelers' defense made a statement by forcing a rare Derrick Henry fumble and making a game-saving play on a two-point conversion.
By the numbers:
- The Ravens, averaging over 30 points per game, were held to just 16 points.
- Lamar Jackson completed only 49% of his pass attempts and threw seven off-target passes.
- Derrick Henry was limited to 65 yards on 13 carries.
Yes, but: Despite the dominant defensive performance, the Steelers offense struggled to put up points, relying on kicker Chris Boswell's six field goals for the win.
What to watch: The Steelers' defense has consistently been a strength this season, and if their offense can find its rhythm, they could become a formidable force in the playoffs.
What's next: The Steelers will look to build on their division lead as they face tough matchups against playoff contenders in the coming weeks.
The bottom line: The Steelers' defense proved once again that they are a force to be reckoned with, showcasing their ability to shut down high-powered offenses. With a strong defense and an improving offense, the team is poised for success in the postseason.
