The Pittsburgh Steelers stand alone at 3-1 a top the AFC North after beating the now 2-1 Baltimore Ravens 23-20 in overtime.
The Monday Night game was a hard fought, seesaw battle in which saw both the Steelers and the Ravens battle back from deficits. In the end the black and gold was able to come away with the victory after Jeff Reed's 46 yard field goal in sudden death.
Baltimore went into half-time with a 13-3 lead and looked as if they were going to steal one from the Steelers in Heinz Field.
For just a few brief moments in the third quarter, the Ravens let Pittsburgh back in the game by allowing the Steelers to score two touchdowns within 15 seconds of each other. The first score came on a Ben Roethlisberger 38-yard pass to Santonio Holmes, followed by a LaMarr Woodley, 7 yard fumble return for another score. Then, after a 7 play 60-yard drive, capped by a short Jeff Reed field goal, the Steelers led by 7.
Baltimore then put together a game-tying 9 play 76-yard drive led by rookie quarterback Joe Flacco ending with a LeRon McClain, 2-yard run for a touchdown that sent the game into overtime.
The extra period started with the Ravens winning the toss but not capitalizing. Roethlisberger would not let his chance slip away leading the offense down the field, setting up Reed's game winning field goal.
