The Baltimore Ravens (4-4) had a chance to tie for the AFC North lead by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) for a fourth straight time dating to 2005, but in reality it was the Steelers that has set the tone in this game. It was linebacker James Harrison that devasted the Ravens offense recording nine tackles, 3½ sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. And with QB Ben Roethlisberger tieing the Steelers’ single-game record with five touchdown passes in the first half, the game was over at half time, in the second half Steelers were never seriously threatened. Big Ben suffered a hip injury, that took him out on the bench, in the third quarter. His five TD throws gave him a career-record 20 in half a season, two more than his previous single-season high of 18.
