A hard fought game between two hard-nosed division rivals. A whole bunch of unnecessary roughness calls, injury timeouts, the depth chart for running backs going all the way to the bottom (4 injured backs not including the absent Willie Parker), and an ending in overtime. Flacco had a great 1st half completing for 12 on 106 yards. At the half, Roethlisberger only threw 5/9 for 43 yards and a pick. Once the 2nd half came, Roethlisberger went no-huddle and found Santonio Holmes for their first touchdown in 15 days. The Ravens got the ball right after and Flacco fumbled en route to a Pittsburgh defensive touchdown. Ravens stayed alive with a strong showing from Derrick Mason catching 8 receptions for 137 yards. But it was Ben Roethlisberger with a 148-yard 2nd half of passing. He was also sacked 3 times in the first half, but never again. Jeff Reed had a big game kicking 3/3 and the game winner.
