The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense showed up big tonight and was not rewarded for their effort as Special Teams and some not so good play-calling and offensive execution cost the Black and Yellow on this night.

Steelers PK Josh Scobee had not one but two opportunities to add to the Steelers lead in the 4th and missed both kicks. This was after a key 4th down stop by the Steelers "D" and a solid offensive drive. Give credit where credit is due as the Purple Browns manned up and took it what was given to them finally by the Steelers.

B-More QB Joe Flacco was 20 for 33 and 189 yards and a TD and an INT but made plays when he had to. That last drive in regulation was typical Ordinary Joe against the Steelers at Heinz in the last few trips as he made enough plays to get PK Justin Tucker to do what he does as he is the new ATM when its comes to place kicking in the "Shield"..."Stra9ght Cash Homie"!

As for the Steelers RB Le'veon Bell continues to run all over the opposition as he goes for 129 yards on twenty-two totes and a score. WR Antonio Brown missed his NFL Record of 35 games of at least 5 grabs and 50 yards netting five for 42 yards.  QB Mike Vick ran for 33 yards and was 19 for 26 for 124 yards and a TD.

Those two missed FGs and two play-calls on 4th down one an out to A.B. that Vick overthrew. The other a Vick QB Sweep to the short side of the field will live through Week 4 in Steelers Nation unfortunately. What I have an issue with is your conservative all night long then you go for it. Just go for it from the opening kickoff and see what happens as the "D" was playing well enough to keep you afloat!  

Purple Browns move to 1-3 but more importantly 1-1 in the AFC North. The Steelers drop to 2-2 and 0-1 in the AFC North...
