The win was especially significant for Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who famously came into the matchup with just a 1-4 record against the Steelers in his career. Jackson has missed a number of games against the Steelers in his career because of injuries, but when healthy, had only defeated the Ravens' arch nemesis just once until Saturday.

The Steelers entered Saturday’s game missing three defensive starters (safety DeShon Elliott, cornerback Donte Jackson and defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi). Early in the game, they lost another when cornerback Joey Porter Jr. went down with an ankle injury.

Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes and Marlon Humphrey scored on a fourth-quarter interception return to help the Baltimore Ravens pull even with Pittsburgh atop the AFC North with a 34-17 victory over the Steelers.
