Ravens Dominant Second Half propels them over Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens traveled to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers at Heinz Field. The Ravens are coming off a win last week at home over the Denver Broncos. The Steelers got their first win of the season on Monday night by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road. The Steelers are looking to right the ship after tying their first game of the season and losing to Kansas City in their first two games. The Ravens come in at 2-1 and are hoping to stay in first place of the AFC North. Who would come out on top in the AFC North rivalry game? Let's Find Out!
 The Ravens would start with the ball and would go eight plays that would end with Joe Flacco going to John Brown for a 33 yard touchdown and a 7-0 Baltimore lead. The first Steelers' drive would end with a fumble recovered by the Ravens' Jefferson that looked like it would go for a touchdown but after further review, Jefferson was ruled down by contact. The Ravens would capitalize after the fumble and four plays later, Flacco would go to Alex Collins for a three yard touchdown and a 14-0 Ravens lead. After the Ravens and Steelers would trade three and outs, Pittsburgh would go 12 plays that would end on a 34 yard field goal by Chris Boswell to put the Steelers on the board. First play of the Ravens possession, Flacco would go to John Brown for 71 yards to the Pittsburgh 13 yard line. However, the Ravens would be unable to score as they would fumble and the Steelers' Edmunds would recover. The Steelers would go on a 14 play drive that would end in a Boswell 39 yard field goal for 14-6 Ravens lead. Baltimore's next possession would end in a punt. The Steelers would go on a quick five play drive that would end with Ben Rothlisberger going to Antonio Brown for a 26 yard touchdown and Rothlisberger would go to James Conner for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14.
 The game would stay tied at 14 until late in the third quarter when the Ravens would go on a 12 play drive that would end with a 47 yard field goal by Justin Tucker to make it 17-14 with 4:03 to go in the third quarter. The Steelers would punt on their next possession and the Ravens would take over as the third quarter would come to an end. The Ravens would get another field goal to make it 20-14 with 11:42 left in the game. After another Steelers punt, the Ravens would get yet another field goal to make it 23-14. The Steelers' next possession would end in an interception and another Justin Tucker field goal would make it 26-14 to make the game out of reach and the Ravens would take the victory in Pittsburgh 26-14.
