Steelers Edge Ravens, Lead AFC North
Pittsburgh, USAMon Nov 18 2024
The Pittsburgh Steelers notched a crucial 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, strengthening their grip on the AFC North division. Lamar Jackson's late touchdown pass to Zay Flowers closed the gap to 18-16, but the Steelers' defense rose to the occasion, forcing an incomplete pass on the two-point conversion attempt. Najee Harris sealed the win with a third-down run in the final minute.
Despite not scoring a touchdown, the Steelers improved to 4-0 with Russell Wilson at the helm. Wilson threw an interception in the end zone, but kicker Chris Boswell kept Pittsburgh ahead with three field goals from at least 50 yards. The Ravens struggled with turnovers and penalties, and Jackson faced heavy pressure from the Steelers defense.
The Ravens will need to bounce back to stay in the division race. They'll face the Chargers next weekend before a rematch with the Steelers in Week 16. Meanwhile, the Steelers, now 8-2, carry momentum into their Thursday night game against the Browns.
