BALTIMORE — The Steelers needed three results to go their way in Week 17 to stay in playoff contention, and the one they had to sweat out the most was their own. Then, the rookie quarterback came up clutch in prime time for the second week in a row.
Kenny Pickett escaped pressure and zipped a 10-yard touchdown pass on the run to Najee Harris with 56 seconds left to lift the Steelers past the Ravens, 16-13, at M&T Bank Stadium. It was the Steelers’ first lead since 3-0, and the Ravens led for almost the entirety of the second half. Pickett came through clutch, but the catch by Harris was the cherry on top of a brilliant outing.
The game was flexed to Sunday night and the Steelers flexed on the Ravens, leaning on their running game to a total 199 yards. The Ravens ran for 120, 100 less than they did in the first meeting.
