Heroes: Defense played their best game of the season against a highly potent offense. Wizard of Boz.
Goats: No Goats. It was a Ravens/Steelers game. Just get the win.

Heroes - The defense. What a game against a very very good team. Of course BOZ for scoring all our points and the run game.
Goats - Not scoring a TD and almost Fields for his slide.
Heroes: defense, Boz, Pickens.
Goat: Broderick Jones. This guy is going to eventually cost them a crucial game with all the damn holding.
No goats/maybe Jones
Heroes: Warren, Naj and that Defense
I am still very concerned about the offensive line, I'm all for benching Jones, he kills drives

Oh yeah, forgot about the Boz!

Some context for Brod Jones. Today’s officiating crew has called significantly more holding penalties than any other crew in the league.
Doesn’t mean he didn’t mess up or have a bad game just adds more to the discussion.
Heroes: me, for surviving another Steelers-Ravens nailbiter.
It was a team win for sure. The heroes are Boswell who was perfect and all the defensive players who caused turnovers.
There were lots of mental mistakes from going for it on 4th down using the same play that failed prior instead of spreading the defense out.
#80 not going for the ball in the EZ which contributed to a pick.
Fields not getting the first down from sliding too soon in an open field.
Broderick Jones who is a penalty machine.
I thought the refs called a 100% fair game for a change.
Steelers are 3 players away from being a dominant #1 seed in the AFC. The Ravens need one or two more key players.
Where was Mike Williams?
Pickens is an alien.
All Defense!
Heroes: Boz, Herbig, Watt, Heyward, JPJ, and Elliot
Goats: Jones, Jackson on pass D
I think RW thought he's huge so throw it up there and let him go get it. He must have seen him do it in practice but for some reason Washington got turned the wrong way and you can even see Marlon Humphrey break off of Washington to go get it. I still would like to see them put a play in where Washington just boxes out the defender and RW/Fields zips the ball to them. That play was actually open there. Mahomes and Kelce always do that play and it is really hard to defend without interfering with the receiver.
Washington is a beast and should definitely be used more. He CAN catch and when he does you can tell DB's are not looking forward to tackling him.

And the 2000 Titans were a year removed from going to the Superbowl as well.
Russell Wilson was running for his life when he threw that, probably hoping that Washington would fight for it, he didn’t. If Russ throws that under less duress its probably more accurate - and a TD. I dont know if the Ravens saw something and confused our O linemen or just beat them (maybe both) but the O line has to play better.
I’m thinking that it’s not that easy for a WR to be traded and contribute substantially to their new team right away. Look at Cooper, Williams, DJ, Adams…none of them are contributing like you think they would. There is quite possibly a large learning curve when arriving to a new team mid-season.
I think the reason Washington is getting more throws is that he is getting out in the pattern when teams are expecting him to block. But we do need to get Muth involved in the passing game. It's not like he has dropping balls. He is not the blocker Washington is, obviously. So, I guess Washington's blocking is considered more important than Muth pass catching. There should be a way to get them both going at the same time.
It wouldn’t but if they don’t know what they are supposed to do, that’s the issue and it appears to be across the league with traded WRs.
Much wasn’t even in at some points. They had Skoronek running his routes and motions. Some of the personnel decisions are mind boggling to me.
I’m guessing it was the linebackers but maybe the big boys in front of them too? Because someone kicked the Ravens butt at the line of scrimmage.
In a low scoring affair like this one, that might be as complicated as the answer gets.
That and the turnovers.

How Lamar MVP level play drops off vs the Steelers compared to any other team is wild. Matchups matter.
Diontae Johnson with a donut.
Heroes are the usual - Def, Boz, GP and Harris.
Not sure if there are any goats this game, but if I have to, QBs, both made mistakes to keep the Ravens in the game, but both made plays when needed also. The other is the OL, but I am hoping that I am seeing them play a little better each week.
Heroes - Defense. Running game for doing enough. Pickens for pretty much being the passing game, even though he wasn't hauling in moon balls. The special teams were solid. Russ for staying in control and doing just enough to win. Sure, the pick was goat territory, and we need to score tds, but he stayed in the buggy tonight against the Ravens like a veteran should. Tomlin for making Harbaugh his *itch again.
No goats. We beat the Ravens.
