I did not get to see much of that game today but there were plenty of high lights on Sports Center. From what I can tell there were plenty of turnovers and just amazing errors by both sides.
The first half turnovers certainly favored the Ravens. The one that really stands out is a Big Ben fumble and players not following up on the play. Cost Pittsburgh big time.
Deep in their own territory with about a minute left in the first quarter and the score tied at 7 Big Ben dropped back to throw a pass. He did the a double pump when a Raven caught him from behind, jarring the ball loose. the ball went forward a couple of yards or so and just lay on the ground.
What happened next is why coaches tell players never give up on a play and play till you hear the whistle blow. Big Ben Roethlisberger was sprawled out on the ground. Ravens player Terrell Suggs, (he hates the Steelers) dancing in the end zone. Pittsburgh Steeler Ramon Foster is seen staring at the ball while Baltimore Raven Jarret Johnson dances past the ball.
During this 3 second interlude from when the ball is dislodged from Rothelisberger's hand only one guy from the Baltimore Ravens figures it out and stays with the play and plays till the whistle is blown. Corey Redding alertly walks over and picks the ball up and runs into the end zone for a easy quick 6 and gives the Ravens a 7 point lead.
