Over the last four regular seasons, the Steelers have faced the Ravens eight times, and they are 5-3 in those games. Of the three games the Steelers lost, two came when they had to play Duck Hodges at quarterback, and the third came when their quarterback threw three interceptions.
On Jan. 1, the Steelers faced the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium with their playoff lives hanging by a thread, but Hodges wasn’t their quarterback, and the guy who was their quarterback didn’t turn the ball over even once. In fact, for the second straight week, in the second straight win-or-it’s-over game against an AFC opponent, Kenny Pickett directed a game-deciding scoring drive late in the fourth quarter and capped it off with a touchdown pass with less than a minute left to play.
On the heels of those victories – 13-10 over the Raiders on Christmas Eve and 16-13 over the Ravens on New Year’s Day –
