Summary:
The key to this game is the health of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Head Coach Mike Tomlin hinted that Roethlisberger might play, but I’m skeptical considering he sustained what appeared to be a serious injury only a few weeks ago. Roethlisberger is (11-8) against the Ravens in his career. When he is absent from the starting lineup the Steelers are just (1-6) versus Baltimore. Regardless Baltimore has surprised people with their defense that has performed as a top ten unit so far this year. I think the Ravens offense will make just enough plays to get a win at home.
