In an intense matchup at M&T Bank Stadium, the Steelers showcased a robust defense and efficient offense to secure their win.

Their efforts resulted in six tackles for loss totaling 31 yards lost for the Ravens and contributed to four instances where they forced three-and-outs.

They managed to accumulate 152 passing yards with one touchdown pass that stood out as the longest play from scrimmage at 71 yards. On the ground, they were just as effective, rushing for a total of 155 yards and scoring one touchdown through this effort.


Special teams played their part too; Pittsburgh's punting squad had six attempts with an average hang time of four seconds per punt and managed to place two punts inside the Ravens' 20-yard line while maintaining an average net yardage of 38 per punt.


Pittsburgh's discipline was evident as they only incurred four penalties costing them just 25 yards throughout the game. Their ball control was also notable – they maintained possession for over half of gameplay time and executed efficiently in critical areas such as red zone conversions where they succeeded half of their attempts.


On offense, Pittsburgh capitalized on every opportunity presented by Baltimore's defense. They converted six out of fifteen third-down attempts which kept drives alive leading to points on board including a perfect field goal attempt from within twenty-nine yards.


While focusing on Pittsburgh's performance is key for fans, it is worth noting that despite being outplayed by their opponents in several aspects during this encounter; Baltimore fought valiantly but ultimately could not overcome Pittsburgh’s tactical execution on both sides of the ball.
