Week 4’s Monday night football brought one of those games that you want to watch because of the fierceness displayed on the field.
The Steelers 23-20 victory over the Ravens was just like that. It was a game where Pittsburgh was losing by 10 points and playing with third and fourth string players because of a roster plagued by injuries, but somehow managed to make a comeback and saved the day with a 46-yard field goal by Jeff Reed in overtime.
The big loss for the Steelers was first round pick Rashard Mendenhall who couldn’t finish the game because of a fractured shoulder and won’t be playing this season anymore. Mendenhall was coming in substitution of starter Willie Parker, who was off for injuries also.
The Ravens already had their bye week and are 2-1, while the Steelers are leading the AFC North with a 3-1 record.
At week 5 the Ravens have a difficult rival on the Titans, whom are 4-0, and the Steelers will face the Jaguars, whom are below Tennessee at the AFC South and are 2-2.
If Baltimore manages to handle the Titans their first defeat this season, they will come to play the Colts at week 6 with an advantage: it’s the Steelers bye week and their chance to lead their division.
