Steelers Secure AFC North Lead Over Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a crucial 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, solidifying their position as the top team in the AFC North and improving their chances for the AFC's No. 1 seed. The game was marked by strong defensive performances from both teams, with the Steelers' defense forcing three turnovers and limiting Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to only 16 completions on 33 attempts. The Steelers relied heavily on kicker Chris Boswell, who scored all of their points with six field goals, including three from over 50 yards. Despite a lackluster offensive showing, the Steelers were able to hold off a late Ravens surge, with Jackson's two-point conversion attempt failing in the final moments. This win puts the Steelers at 8-2, giving them a 1.5-game lead over the Ravens in the division. Looking ahead, the Steelers will face the Cleveland Browns next, while the Ravens aim to rebound against the Chargers.
