JUST now:Win over Baltimore Ravens keeps Pittsburgh Steelers’ hopes of making the playoffs alive…
Thanks to a 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers managed to hang onto their remote hopes of making the playoffs.
If the Buffalo Bills lose to the Miami Dolphins or the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the Steelers, who finished the regular season with three straight victories, will be eligible to play in the postseason.
Near the end of the first quarter, Najee Harris ran six yards for Pittsburgh to take the lead against a soggy Baltimore.
Just before halftime, Tyler Huntley’s 27-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Likely in the end zone tied the score at 7-7 for the AFC North champion Ravens, who rested a number of important players, including quarterback Lamar Jackson.
On the opening play of the fourth quarter, Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph stunned the opposition with a 71-yard touchdown pass to Diontae Johnson, capping a scoreless third quarter.
From then, each team kicked a field goal, and the Steelers are now forced to wait.
After ending the regular season with three straight wins, the Steelers will qualify for the post season on Sunday if the Buffalo Bills lose to the Miami Dolphins or the Jacksonville Jaguars go down to the Tennessee Titans.
