Leaning on running game and defense, Ravens overcome another QB injury to hold off Steelers, 16-14

PITTSBURGH — Led by a resurgent running game and an opportunistic defense, the Ravens held on for a 16-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending a four-game losing streak to their AFC North rivals but losing quarterback Tyler Huntley in the process.

Running back Gus Edwards’ 6-yard run on third-and-4 on the Ravens’ final drive helped extinguish Pittsburgh’s comeback hopes inside Acrisure Stadium after a late touchdown. After another dramatic finish, the Ravens (9-4) stayed atop the AFC North and moved one step closer toward a return to the postseason.

With Huntley (concussion protocol) knocked out of the game midway through the third quarter, the Ravens leaned on running back J.K. Dobbins to carry their offense. In his first game since Week 6, Dobbins rushed 15 times for 120 yards and a touchdown (8 yards per carry). The Ravens (9-4) ran for 215 yards overall, averaging 5.1 per carry.
