(Sports Spectrum) The Pittsburgh Steelers desperately needed a win Sunday to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Like he’s done so often in his career, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger engineered what proved to be a game-winning drive as the Steelers held off the Baltimore Ravens for a comeback win, 20-19.
The victory brought Pittsburgh’s record to 6-5-1 and kept it in eighth place in the AFC, just on the outside of the seven-team playoff picture, with five regular-season games left to play.
“God is good,” Roethlisberger told CBS following the game. “This is how it’s supposed to be. This is what this game always is and why this game is so much fun, why this rivalry is what it is. I’m just so proud of the guys, the way they stepped up. We had guys go down, guys step up.”
