Lendaddy, Steelers won that one through determination and solid play.
Came down to the QB's just like I said. Big Ben made it happen. Flacco choked big time.
That 3rd and 19 conversion was EPIC!!!

Did you watch a different game? They played terrible on offense, simply terrible. Flacco did choke, big time. That is partially due to Pitt's defense...but again I said they played well.
They were handed three drives that started essentially IN the red zone, those were their only scores in the second half(save for that last debacle). They were handed those points and they still tried to screw it up.
The "epic" catch was a great throw, dead on the money(Ben's only one of the game that I can recall)...the receiver made it way more difficult than it had to be and should have walked in for a TD had he not bobbled the easy catch and instead chose to pin it one handed against his helmet for pete's sake.
The phantom holding call on the Ravens TD and the BS defensive holding call on the stand combined with the "how could you not rag that" tackle that the Steelers lineman put on the guy about to down Mendenhall in the backfield (on the very same play mind you) are just some of the good fortune I speak of.
Play like that loses 9 of 10 games in the NFL...this one was number 10. All I ask is you Steeler fans thank the football gods for your continued good fortune.
note:I'm gonna see if I can find a youtube of that goaline holding play....it was comical.
