BALTIMORE (AP) – Ben Roethlisberger has two touchdown passes, scored a left kick to help the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Baltimore Ravens 23-16 on Sunday.
James Conner had 107 yards and a TD pass for the Steelers (5-2-1), who have won four straight since losing to the Ravens at home on September 30.
Roethlisberger went 28 for 47 for 270 yards. His one meter run helped Pittsburgh climb 20-6 in the third quarter. The 36-year-old has proven himself by missing out on one game after being crushed during a sprint in the pocket with just over 13 minutes.
The Ravens (4-5) scored only one touchdown in their third straight loss. Joe Flacco was restricted to 209 yards and was sacked twice.
Pittsburgh opened the second half with a run that lasted nearly seven minutes and ended with a 1-meter dive by Roethlisberger. The conversion flew right, keeping the score at 20-6.
After two touchdowns and a potential two-game deficit in the northern CAF, the Ravens reacted. Flacco completed six passes in a 75-yard run that ended with a 1-yard touchdown by Alex Collins.
The defense then forced the first three games of the match, but the Baltimore attack failed to maintain momentum.
After the Ravens punted. Roethlisberger was stuck from behind by Za & Darius Smith and remained grounded for several minutes. Joshua Dobbs entered, completed a 22-yard pass to Jesse James, then gave way to Roethlisberger.
The workout led to a placement for a 10-point goal with 8:26 to play.
Roethlisberger made 29 assists in the first half and demonstrated his prowess. Pittsburgh took a lead of 14-6.
While the Steelers faced a fourth goal of the Baltimore 38, Roethlisberger sided in shotgun training and managed a 27-yard kick – his seventh career kick.
The Ravens then decided to score the first goal after Flacco failed to see the big open Lamar Jackson on the right side near the end zone. Jackson, a rookie quarterback who was used in various ways, came into motion in the game and was left behind.
Roethlisberger gave Conners an early lead over Pittsburgh with a 7-yard touchdown pass. The Steelers were 14-3 when Roethlisberger had a 75-yard pass with a 6-yard pass to Antonio Brown.
INJURY
Steelers: None reported.
Ravens: The starting strikers, Ronnie Stanley (ankle) and James Hurst (back) were on the list of inactive players. CB Tavon Young was injured at the right ankle in the fourth quarter and did not return. Ty Montgomery was also inactive without being injured, but was secured Tuesday as part of a deal with Packers.
TRIBUTE TO SYNAGOGUE VICTIMS
Roethlisberger wore spiked shoes with a Star of David in response to the shooting that took place in late October in the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. The Star of David was in yellow and was the top of the Steelers logo. There was also the words "Stronger Than Hate" on every shoe.
Roethlisberger and his wife are friends of Michele Rosenthal, a former employee of the team. Two of Rosenthal's brothers were among the 11 dead during the attack that knocked out Squirrel Hill.
