Baltimore very easily should have had 17 more points. These two teams are absolute shells of their former glory. It's insane to watch how bad this football is.

TJ and Highsmith have directly won this team two games this season.

Kenny is turbulent. These roll outs he has been doing where he blindly turns are a really bad habit that he needs to knock off. This offensive line is still atrocious, so that is a big part of it. Cole needs to be replaced.

When the front 7 on defense plays down hill, it's a totally different unit, specifically when Kwon Alexander is in. That guy is a lightning rod.

George Pickens is the most complete WR in the league. His blocking ability is as devastating as his catching ability. It would have been so much fun seeing him and Ben play together.

Jones - Seumalo- Daniels - Herbig - Chuks should be the starting line after the bye week. I think Cole will never get benched because he seems to be the vocal leader of the line but he’s absolutely killing them this year.

This is the kind of win that makes Tomlin believe the way he approaches games is a formula for repeatable success. I mean it's another MT orgasm/fantasy where the defense closes a 1 score game out with a turnover.

Let's see, we're a quarter into the season and your best player looks like he's just run a triathlon by the beginning of the 4th qtr due to being on the field so much. Do you think his energy is going to be sustainable if he does this 13 more times?

This game is a repeat from last week if Harbaugh doesn't out-Tomlin, Tomlin with in game decisions and the receivers don't drop 5 passes.

Don't focus on the result. Look at how they got there. This team is flawed and a mirage much like that 11-0 start a few years back

This feels like a worse train wreck many of us could all see coming when they started 11-0 in 20.

Instead of seeing the reality that the Ravens gave this game away, Tomlin will give another word salad about not apologizing for winning.

He ignores the reality that getting lucky isn’t a sustainable way of winning, but if you don’t look at the reality of your weaknesses and try to find real solutions….

Well, we know how that ends.

When you are never held accountable and the owner is happy/deluded with mediocre Mike results, why not keep pretending you are the shit?

Some weird rumors on the winning TD throw:

- KP called an audible
- KP didn’t call an audible!
- Canada was mad KP called an audible and they scored!
- Tomlin said going for a TD there wasn’t their intention (this I believe).

Wasn't the rumor that Roethlisberger ignored Canada and called his own plays often in his last year?

When they went no huddle and actually moved the ball, it was apparently Roth calling the plays, which is kind of a no duh thing.

It would be funny if the only play that resulted in a TD wasn’t Canada’s call.

Funny in a want to cry way.

On Gunner" Saw a stat on Twitter after the game that he’s fumbled 4 times out of 28 touches since joining the Steelers.

14%

And that’s not even counting boneheaded catch on the sideline the other weak, or the fumble that luckily got switched to an incompletion in the same game.

Anyone who pays attention to this franchise could see this sort of win coming, as this is the exact situation that is where Tomlin's teams thrive. That said, had Baltimore not dropped 19 passes and turned it over 12 times they get blown out of the building for the 3rd time in 5 games, and you're correct that pulling that out will allow them to spend 2 weeks convincing themselves that all they need is a little more time and to get Johnson and Friermuth healthy and they'll be fine.

And really, rookie rookie whatever, the fact Porter hasn't been playing more all along is malpractice.

Agreed. Daniels was actually a better C coming out of college than Cole by a lot. Cole and Chuks are the weak spots on the line.

And with these guys, f*** this zone blocking stuff. This line and this RB duo, they should lining up and going hat on hat and just powering their way down field. It's almost as if there is a total disconnect between the guys being brought in and the offensive philosophy.

Nailed this. Harbaugh and Tomlin both need to be canned. These teams are horrible. Luckily we aren't paying our QB a quarter billion.

Every since those 11 games they won in a row, this team has basically been in shambles.

Tomlin and Harbaugh are neanderthals - the modern game has passed both of them by

Ron Cook: The Steelers — especially Matt Canada — have Ravens to thank for crazy win

The good news is the Steelers came back in stunning fashion to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon. They are tied with the Ravens for first place...

Harbaugh really isn't a neanderthal. He's actually one of the more modern thinkers when it comes to analytics, going for 4th downs, and schematics. I just think when you have a QB like Lamar you're kind of limited, and this was actually a game where being more old school would have done Harbaugh some good.

Probably a fair point.

But not getting a FG at the end of the half was a monumentally dumb move.

13 points in 1 half is usually enough for the other team against Pitt. It'd be different if you were going up against Mahommes and you want to maximize points and every drive

Just absolutely idiotic
