With only one first down since the first quarter, the Steelers got a second when Baltimore’s Jarret Johnson unwisely drew a personal foul penalty for an out-of-bounds hit following Nate Washington’s 8-yard run. They resorted to the no-huddle almost by necessity, with rookie running back Rashard Mendenhall out with a shoulder injury and starter Willie Parker (knee) not in uniform. 14, finally awoke late in the third by going to a no-huddle offense with Roethlisberger lined up in a shotgun formation. The Steelers, booed by their own fans while held without a touchdown for eight quarters since the second period of a 10-6 win in Cleveland on Sept. The Steelers turned the 10-point deficit into a 17-13 lead in a 15-second span in the third quarter, only to have rookie quarterback Joe Flacco of the Ravens hit Derrick Mason for 35 yards ahead of Le’Ron McClain’s 2-yard TD run that tied it at 20 with 4:02 remaining.īefore then, Pittsburgh appeared to have overcome three mostly dreadful quarters in a momentum-turning span of three plays, and Reed added a 19-yard field goal to make it 20-13. On third-and-14, Moore made a 7-yard catch to the 28 to give Reed the extra yardage he needed to make it. Then, on third-and-8, Ben Roethlisberger found fourth-string running back Mewelde Moore – playing in that situation only because of the injuries – on a key 24-yard swing pass for a first down at the Ravens’ 31. The Ravens (2-1), losing their seventh in their past eight games in Pittsburgh, won the important overtime coin toss but were backed up by two penalties and a sack and Sam Koch had to punt out of the end zone. Reed’s third field goal ended a back-and-forth game in which the Steelers (3-1) were down by 10 late in the third quarter, rallied, couldn’t hold a seven-point lead, then found a way to win despite being without their top three running backs.

Then Cam, scheme-wise, and Rex, scheme-wise, Rex came up with a couple of pressures and Cam had a couple of routes that came wide open. He made a field goal kicked off well and our kickoff team was running down there like bullets, getting off blocks and making plays. (K Steve) Hauschka did a nice job for his first time kicking. Jerry did a great of rallying the special teams after a tough outing in Cleveland last week and had those guys playing at another level. (Assistant head coach/defensive coordinator) Rex (Ryan), (offensive coordinator) Cam (Cameron) and (special teams coordinator) Jerry (Rosburg). If we could go through every one of the position coaches, they'd be too numerous to name right now. You know, I was just thinking, too, our coaches, position coaches. That's the kind of person he is and it is a credit to his parents, right Joe? But he played well when he had to. I think momentum swings don't affect him too much and he comes out and plays the next series. I was getting at him a little bit and he doesn't get flustered. (on QB Joe Flacco's momentum swings) "Well Joe did, you know – early in the game, I was giving Joe a hard time. So it was good to see some of the veterans step up and play the way they did in a tough road game. Not just the two touchdown catches, but a couple of big, big conversions in third-and-long situations where he made big catches for us and got open coming across the middle just looked good. (FB) Le'Ron (McClain) did a nice job with cutback runs, of course our d-line with the knock-back defense, got to credit (TE) Todd Heap even on the offensive side. We kind of shut down the running game in there. What he said to the team at halftime is always as big. The interception with (DE) Haloti Ngata was big. Talk about two defensive players, one on offense and one on defense. He made some catches and he did a nice job. That means he is an incredibly courageous guy. He played the game with a dislocated shoulder, and that's incredibly painful. Derrick Mason, I think, I won't give it away here, he had a dislocated shoulder, to my understanding. (on the important plays and the victory) "It was a team victory, like they all are, but to single out a couple of individuals, first of all, (WR) Derrick Mason.
