Steelers Edge Ravens 27-22 After Late Replay Reversals to Take AFC North Lead

Rodgers' best day in Pittsburgh briefly cooled calls for Mike Tomlin's ouster.

Overview

  • Pittsburgh moved to 7-6 and first in the AFC North, while Baltimore fell to 6-7 and slid from fourth to 10th in the AFC standings, per NBC News.
  • Two fourth-quarter replay reviews swung key moments: an Isaiah Likely 13-yard catch was overturned to incomplete, and a Teddye Buchanan interception was reversed to preserve a Steelers drive.
  • Aaron Rodgers went 23-of-34 for 284 yards with a passing touchdown and a rushing score, hitting DK Metcalf for a 52-yard strike as Metcalf finished with 7 catches for 148 yards.
  • After the win, Rodgers told reporters he hoped critics would "shut the hell up for a week" regarding Tomlin, who earlier acknowledged fan frustration following "Fire Tomlin" chants.
  • Concerns persist for Pittsburgh's defense after allowing 218 rushing yards to Baltimore a week after yielding 249 to Buffalo, with four games left including Miami next and a Week 18 meeting with the Ravens.
