Ravens collapse late, miss playoffs after loss to Steelers

The Steelers are coming off a 31-27 victory of the rival Baltimore Ravens that clinched them the AFC North division on Christmas Day.

“We went to Denver past year without Antonio”.

That would mean such players as inside linebackers Ryan Shazier and Lawrence Timmons possibly going for 70 or so snaps, or until the game was decided. “When the game finally ends, and that’s not the reality, that’s something you have to deal with”, Ravens fullback Kyle Juszyzck said. “We were throwing it and just making things happen”. Coach Tony Dungy, commentating for NBC, said “They might not have had time to get another play off”. With the AFC North title at stake, Ben Roethlisberger hit Antonio Brown with 9 seconds remaining.

“In general our approach is going to be: if you’re dressed it’s business as usual”, said Tomlin, “and I think that’s the appropriate approach to take from a play standpoint, from a preparation-to-play standpoint, and from a planning standpoint”. They are the only franchise in National Football League history, post-merger or otherwise, that can claim to have had three coaches win 100 games.

In that answer Tomlin gave us a new Tomlinism in that he appeared to not be able to recall the word “water cooler” and said that Brown’s play provided good “water machine” talk.

Pittsburgh scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including the game-winning drive. You can give him the ball, he’s great in pass protection, he can line up outside and run routes as an outside receiver.

All 50 of Brown’s career TD receptions have come on passes from Roethlisberger, even though the QB has sat out 12 games – the equivalent of three-quarters of a season – because of injuries during Brown’s career. That’s what you need to do.

“Obviously this was very disappointing and a bitter loss”, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.

In true Pittsburgh/Baltimore fashion, this game was a nail-biter: but afterward, I feel like the Bengals girl that was crying, except a completely different result! “We’ll make that better for him”. “They made one more play than we did”. The team wanted to win this game, and it was a team effort which opened up the last-second finish. Almost 24 hours later, it was still though to stomach for Baltimore fans and the head coach.

“It’s definitely been a meaningful season for me”, said Juszczyk, who is affectionately known as “Juice”. We have to do a better job for what we’re paid to do. “It’s a big swing”. Bell ran the ball six times for 39 yards on the first drive and had two 10-yard runs to help set up Ben Roethlisberger’s 20-yard touchdown pass to Xavier Grimble.

Justin Tucker accounted for 13 of the Ravens’ points, knocking all four of his field goal attempts through the uprights.

That’s how against the Ravens he logged his fifth game in 2016 with 120-plus rushing yards (he finished with 122 rushing yards on 20 carries). Tucker then connected on a pair of field goals for the Ravens, who entered halftime trailing 7-6.
