Ben was able to suit up.

RT Marcus Gilbert (ankle) and DE Cam Heyward (ankle) showed no ill-effects after returning to game action. We’ve just to go put things together. What could go wrong? “The Steelers are coming off a brutal performance”, Childs said.
No other receiver had a catch until the fourth quarter.
Pittsburgh converted only four of 17 third downs, was repeatedly penalized and even failed to execute an onside kick in the final minute. On a day where virtually nothing seemed to be going in our favor, who is to blame? I have a lot of love for them and a lot of respect.
The Ravens are a very beatable team, as evidenced in Cincinnati’s dominance over Baltimore in recent years.
“That said, I still think we had opportunities to win the game”. It doesn’t help the Steelers’ cause that they have lost back-to-back-to-back battles. “We will see where his participation takes him this week”. Roethlisberger overcame a slow start and completed 23 of 45 passes for 264 yards with a touchdown and interception. Since the Steelers can’t really give up on any of their best players and won’t give up on their head coach, don’t expect any of these troubling trends to get better any time soon. “We opened Eagles -1, and most of the early money is on the road team”, he said.
Although Todd Haley has helped transform Pittsburgh’s offense in recent years, you can’t help but think this offense is now underperforming in 2016.
Baltimore led 10-0 at halftime and 13-0 in the fourth quarter before Javorius Allen blocked a punt and Chris Moore took it 14 yards for a TD and a 21-0 lead with 13:36 to go. Every time the Steelers should have run the ball, they passed, and every time they should have passed the ball, they ran the ball. He’s just 4-for-16 this season on throws 20 yards or longer for 138 yards.
One of the few bright spots today was the energy and hustle of the Steelers defense.
Before Sunday Manning had four TD passes in each of the previous four games and they’re dead last in rushing after not getting more than 60 yards on the ground in any game the last month.
In a week where Artie Burns started over William Gay to attack the line of scrimmage, there was no role for Gilbert on defense.

SLIDE RULE: The Ravens received a scare when quarterback Joe Flacco slid on the turf at the end of an impromptu run and appeared to severely twist his surgically repaired left knee. Harrison racked up 2 sacks to inch himself closer to becoming the Steeler’s all-time leader in that category. “If you miss the playoffs, who cares where your defense ranked”. “Maybe they’re calling stuff that they haven’t in the past, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a penalty”. The running game for the Ravens couldn’t do much of anything as they finished with just 50 yards on the ground total, and that includes 12 scrambling yards from Flacco. The reason was Shabazz’s ability on special teams, according to Tomlin. “I would, based on what I’ve seen in preparation”. He signed a two-year, $11.5-million contract as a free agent on March 15 with a $4.5-million signing bonus after spending one season with the Minnesota Vikings. “Thank you for asking”.
