You know, you can only leave Torrey Smith open so many times before he's actually going to catch it. The Steelers learned that the hard way.For all the mocking we do of Joe Flacco, he's now led last-minute scoring drives to win at Heinz Field in consecutive seasons. It doesn't automatically make Bert an awesome QB or anything, but I'll give credit where it's due. The guy isn't completely worthless. Well done, Unibrow. Hopefully the Steelers will get another shot at thwarting him in the postseason.It's a tough, painful loss, and the Steelers now definitely owe the Ravens a good deal of payback, but I'll take away positives where I can. The receiving corps continues to be stellar. Mike Wallace, who is usually big early in games, showed up late with a go-ahead touchdown. Max Starks did a better job containing Terrell Suggs than anyone on the Steelers has in some time. Suggs obviously made a great play intercepting a bubble screen in the third quarter.The...

With Pitt's season quickly going down the drain and the Ravens' last-minute victory over Heinz Field's other occupants, a weird thing happened: for some reason, the whole "Palko vs. Flacco" debate picked up again. Like me, Bob Smizik is perpexed:
Palko entered Pitt in 2002, Flacco in 2003. Rod Rutherford was the entrenched starting quarterback both of those...

TD with :08 left gets Ravens by Steelers (AP)
Joe Flacco hit Torrey Smith for a 26-yard touchdown pass with 8 seconds to go, lifting the Baltimore Ravens past the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20 on Sunday night. Five plays after letting a sure touchdown toss tip off his hands, Smith capped Baltimore's game-winning 92-yard drive by beating William Gay down the right sideline as the Ravens (6-2) snapped Pittsburgh's four-game winning streak.
View from Baltimore: Flacco rewrites his script
It was interesting to tune into sports talk radio in the Steel City prior to Sunday's game between the Ravens and Steelers, if only to hear an opposing city's take on quarterback Joe Flacco. For several hours, caller after caller checked in to state the belief that Flacco, who was just 1-5 in Heinz Field prior to last night, would never play well enough to lead the Ravens to a win.

The Ravens lost the coin toss. I told you they were going to lose the Steelers.
Baltimore's first play from scrimmage went 74 yards. It was a run from Ray Rice. Unfortunately, Torrey Smith was called for holding.
The Ravens did take the ball down the field for a field goal to give the Ravens a 3-0 lead. That's where we stand as we head in to the second quarter.

The victory gives Baltimore a sweep of the two-game series and a first-place tie with Cincinnati in the AFC North Division at 6-2. The Steelers slipped to 6-3.

OK, so we've finished Week 9. Week 10 starts Thursday night. However, the Baltimore Ravens, because they had their bye in Week 5, are just now halfway through their season.
Quarterback: CFourth-year quarterback Joe Flacco has been good enough for the Ravens to win 75 percent of their games, but he's been maddeningly inconsistent. Also, Flacco has been good for one fumble...
