Steelers, Ravens gets going on Sunday night

Previews Comments Off
TWO of the top teams in the National Football League will clash on Sunday evening in the ongoing NFL season.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will visit the Baltimore Ravens in search of their ninth win in the current NFL season.
Holding a similar 8-3 win-loss record, a win in their game will do wonder to any of the two as they hope to land a seat in the forthcoming NFL playoffs.
The game between the two is hard to predict since they always plays hard, in five of the last six meetings between Pittsburgh and Baltimore have been decided by four points or fewer, and the one that wasn’t
the Steelers’ 23-14 win in the supremely hard-hitting AFC championship game Jan. 18, 2009 was a two-point game until Troy Polamalu’s late interception return for a touchdown.
In the recent game between the Steelers and Ravens, the Ravens beat the former 17-14 at Heinz Field on Oct. 3.
Coming into the game, the Steelers is the slight favorite to win their game due to the presence of its superstar quarterback Ben Roethlisberger who was not able to play in the last meeting between his team and the Ravens due to suspension.
Roethlisberger has missed four games against Baltimore due to injury or suspension since entering the league, and the Steelers have lost all four. With him starting, they’re 7-2.
If Roethlisberger can produce great numbers against the Ravens chances of victory of his team is higher.
To win the game for the Steelers, Roethlisberger need to assert himself by scoring and passing for his team.
The Ravens for its part could avoid defeat if they can sustain and limit the performance of Roethlisberger in their game.
Aside from imposing tough defense on the Steelers particularly on Roethlisberger, Ravens reliable quarterback Joe Flacco also needs to play big for his team.
The Ravens third-year quarterback threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns in a 17-10 win its eighth straight at home.
In six games since Oct. 17, Flacco has 13 TDs, two interceptions and a 111.6 passer rating — the league’s second-best in that stretch.
The key for the Ravens in winning is to make sure Flacco will not be outplayed by Roethlisberger and they can limit their visitor from scoring big in their game.
