Steelers vs Broncos summary
The Ravens lost their fourth game of the season and are now 7-4. This performance against the Steelers will definitely hurt Lamar Jackson's odds of winning the MVP, as he arguably had his worst game of the season. His performance has helped the likes of Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen as they are right back in the MVP race.
The Ravens defense, which has faced a lot of criticism this year, showed up today and didn't allow a single touchdown. However, their offense failed to take advantage of it, and Baltimore will require a slip-up from Pittsburgh to have a shot at winning the division.
Russell Wilson did not play well and could have cost his team the game with his senseless interception in the fourth quarter. Fortunately for the Steelers, their defense came up big on the Ravens' game-tying two-point attempt and helped the team to a big win over their biggest rivals.
Steelers will play the Cleveland Browns next week and will be favored to win. On the other hand, the Ravens will travel to Los Angeles to play the Chargers, and all eyes will be on Jackson on whether he can play the MVP-esque football against quality defenses.
