Steelers

For the second week in a row, QB Kenny Pickett orchestrated a game-winning drive with less than a minute remaining to keep the Steelers' slim playoff hopes ...

"Confidence that I had in myself is showing up on the field, and I think guys are starting to feel that, which is always good," Pickett said. "He did a great job of extending and slipping past the linebacker," Pickett said. You have all the confidence in the world." "We never questioned that, but seeing him delivering those big moments, and the guys stepping up and especially the line ... "Going into the huddle and seeing how confident everyone is, as a quarterback you know they have a lot of belief in you, and I have a lot of belief in those guys in the huddle. "We've seen our guys go out and ball out and practice all season long. He's only the third rookie quarterback to win in Baltimore, joining Pickett rifled a pass to a scrambling Harris. Pickett completed 5 of 6 attempts for 64 yards and converted two short-yardage third downs on sneaks to drive the Steelers 80 yards in 3 minutes and 20 seconds, capped with the 10-yard TD to Harris. He's always ready to be that guy in the moments that we need him. He was 3-of-7 on such throws prior to that drive, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. And it's just good to see the young guy.

Ravens already on the cusp of making it into Pittsburgh territory. However, the Steelers read that one from a mile away, stuffing Likely behind the line of scrimmage. 9:28 p.m.: Great pitch and catch between Huntley and Mark Andrews, who gets outside the pocket before firing a dart to Andrews to get yet another first down. That will make it a third and long situation for the Ravens. Will be a challenge for Pittsburgh to grab the first now. 10:33 p.m.: Deontae Johnson with a precise curl route on the sideline to get Pittsburgh into the red zone. The Steelers are still alive in the playoff chase! Huge stop by Justin Madubuike, who puts Pickett on his backside to set up the third and long.

But a third-down fade pattern from Pickett to George Pickens didn’t connect, and Chris Boswell hit the first of his three field goals, a 21-yarder. Baltimore (10-6) needs Buffalo to beat Cincinnati on Monday night or else the Bengals will clinch the division. Six plays later, Pickett rolled left to get away from pressure and found Harris with a deft throw against tight coverage from Roquan Smith.

The Steelers will force Huntley to try to beat them through the air with limited pop. The Steelers will find it hard to sustain drives and finish in the end zone again. The Steelers will try to maintain on the ground to stay in the game and set up favorable play-action shots from Pickett. Before the Ravens won in Week 14, the Steelers had taken four straight in the series. The Ravens ran well in the first meeting with J.K. The Steelers also have stiffened of late. Before then, the Ravens had won three of four. [Against the spread](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-17/lvmtoxr6x2sosa6zwfx3vh7p) The Ravens also have been tough up front with active back-seven play. The Steelers' defense is playing up to more familiar standards with T.J. They travel to Baltimore to play the Ravens (10-5), who already have locked down a playoff berth and are playing to try to win the AFC North over the Bengals. Winning out also might come with a chance to steal at least the No.

11:20 — Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh addresses the media. “We've got to do a way better job across the board in terms of attacking what they did,” Harbaugh ...

11:45 — Another nod to himself and Washington stands up and meets a trainer to help strip off the sweat-soaked jersey. One last time to nod in acceptance of tonight’s defeat where the Steelers rushed for 198 yards and tossed the traditionally stout defensive line, with Washington in tow, to the side and possibly out of AFC North contention. He sits back down, and returns to mental self-flagellation. “I hate losing,” Washington responds. “Just gotta be better, man,” Washington says. He looks to his left where veteran defensive end Calais Campbell, who missed tonight’s game due to a knee injury, signals to the young player with his hands to settle himself down. I step up and ask if he’s willing to speak. He talks about the three and outs in the fourth. “Of course we want it to be second and longer but they had the run game going so that’s what put us in that situation,” Clark says. Players have filtered out; others head in and out of the showers. Bags are being moved and zipped by trainers as media fill the center of the locker room. The Steelers win the ballgame 16-13.

•3h ago In first meeting, Steelers had 65 rushing yards on 20 attempts. Steelers already have 108 rushing yards on 18 attempts. But a Cameron Heyward unnecessary roughness penalty gives them a first down. Three Huntley completions to Andrews set up the long FG attempt.— Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) Ravens get points on their first drive of the second half. It’s 13-6, Ravens, with 3:42 to play, but Pittsburgh’s offense is going to have to finish a drive at some point. Is there any way the Steelers could convince Kenny Pickett that the game is on the line with every drive? If that happens, the Steelers would be in the playoffs with a win over the Browns. The Steelers entered this week with playoff odds of 2 percent, according to The New York Times’ model. The Bengals can now lock up the AFC North division with a win over the Bills Monday night. This live blog experience from The Athletic has all things needed to follow the action.

After rookie QB Kenny Pickett led the Steelers to a second straight game-winning TD drive against the Ravens, his teammates and coach praised his ...

Moving to 8-8 heading into Week 18, Pittsburgh would qualify for the postseason with a victory over the Browns, a Patriots loss to the Bills and a Dolphins loss to the Jets. The Dolphins have significant injury issues at quarterback and could be starting a seventh-round rookie with the postseason on the line. [Cameron Heyward](https://www.nfl.com/players/cameron-heyward/) said, [via the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review](https://triblive.com/sports/the-kids-growing-before-our-eyes-another-winning-drive-led-by-steelers-kenny-pickett/). And the Patriots already lost to the Bills by double-digits once this season -- the key might be whether Buffalo is still chasing the No. 1 seed when the game starts or elect to sit starters if their fate is wrapped up. On the game-winning drive, Pickett completed 5 of 6 attempts for 64 yards and a TD. The rookie avoided the rush, moved to his left, reset and fired a perfect pass to Harris, who was blanketed by Pro Bowl linebacker He's always ready to be that guy in the moments that we need him to be that guy. It was the type of play that displayed Pickett's potential. Pickett became the first rookie quarterback in NFL history to engineer a game-winning TD pass in the final minute of the fourth quarter in back-to-back games. The rookie showed his ability to make things happen out of the structure on Sunday night. Several of his best plays came on the move, making good throws even if they weren't corralled.

The Steelers can still make the playoffs in 2022. Here's how they can still reach the final dance.

The Steelers need some help from the Bills and the Jets. How can the Steelers still make it to the playoffs? Even with the win, the Steelers are still on the outside-looking in. They are now tied in the standings at 8-8 with the Patriots and the Dolphins in the AFC wild-card race. Of the five that began 2022 with that record, only the Steelers and Lions will enter Week 18 with a chance to reach the postseason. With the win, the Steelers stay alive in the AFC playoff picture.

Even though the stats suggest that the Ravens are in the upper third of the league in most defensive categories, we all need to remember that those stats were in part the byproduct of playing a last place schedule. It has been a painful one to watch given the ineptitude of the passing game and the inability to protect leads. Dobbins](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/D/DobbJK00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) and [Mark Andrews](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AndrMa00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) played inspired football for an uninspired offense. They are the same problems the team has struggled with the entire season; the same problems that Harbaugh vows to go to work on and fix; the same problems that reappear, time and time again, year after year, with no end in sight. [Lamar Jackson](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/search/search.fcgi?pid=JackLa00,JackLa02&search=Lamar+Jackson&utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) does return, it’s highly unlikely that the Ravens can muster enough offense to compete with the Bengals, Bills, Chiefs, perhaps even the Jaguars. From that point forward the Ravens could muster only 69 yards of offense for the balance of the game (24:31). [Calais Campbell](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CampCa99.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) and put bodies on Smith and Queen keeping them away from the line of scrimmage.

The old, “we’ve got to play smarter” and “we’ll go to work to get better for the next game” rhetoric is beyond old. Watt](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/W/WattT.00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) exploded out of his stance, crashing down from the edge with reckless abandon. He did miss an opportunity with [Demarcus Robinson](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RobiDe01.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=russellstreetreport.com&utm_campaign=2023-01-02_pfr) on the game’s last competitive play. Tomlin knew that the Steelers had to be more physical, even forcing his troops to conduct a fully-padded practice in preparation for the game – an uncommon approach this late in the season.

Gus Edwards had just nine snaps. Mark Andrews and Chuck Clark led their units in PFF grades.

It's the second straight week that Clark has held the top mark, as he had a 85.4 grade against Atlanta. - Tight end Mark Andrews led all Ravens with a grade of 87.4 against the Steelers. - Safety Chuck Clark led the Ravens' defenders with a PFF grade of 80.6.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers spent the better part of three hours on Sunday night simply asking Kenny Pickett to not lose, essentially ta...

He’s played at least 35% of the offensive snaps over the past eight weeks and his leaping grab on the winning drive showcased the confidence Pickett has in him. Pittsburgh’s push has come in lockstep with an offensive line that is starting to dominate the line of scrimmage. Given the way they were running the ball, the fact offensive coordinator Matt Canada didn’t call for a deep shot off play action was baffling. Sims began the season buried on the depth chart. For a team with a microscopic margin for error, Boswell can’t afford to be shaky. So, it’s a step in the right direction.” For the second straight week, they ran out of options in the fourth quarter. There’s plenty of credit to go around, including a vastly improved running game, the return of all-everything linebacker T.J. It’s not always perfect, but we worked our tails off throughout the entire season to just keep battling back.” There was something about the way Pickett carried himself when things got tight that Tomlin couldn’t shake. Tomlin, however, was focused on the type of things impossible to measure with a rule or a stopwatch. Pickett was — heck is — hardly considered a sure thing.

That wouldn’t make up for a disappointing overall season in Cleveland, but it wouldn’t hurt to put that streak to rest. They need to beat the Browns and get help in other games, but Garrett said that the Browns are looking forward to doing what they can to make sure there’s no happy ending to Pittsburgh’s season. “We consider them our rivals.

That was inside linebacker Robert Spillane. Spillane might feel like the team doesn't consider him a starter but there's no doubt they treat him like one.
