With the Steelers badly in need of a big play late in a crucial AFC North game at Baltimore, everything seemed to come together for them –- just like at the end of a 2008 contest in Baltimore when quarterback Ben Roethlisberger led them on a game-winning touchdown drive.
The Steelers did get some help from the Ravens and the elements near the end of the game, and here is how they pulled out their biggest win of the season.
-- Strong safety Troy Polamalu was actually run blitzing on the play in which he leveled Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco from the blind side and caused a fumble with just over three minutes left in the game.
“I was surprised they were passing in that situation,” Polamalu later said.
Small wonder why............
