However, the second half told another tale as 3 Raven turnovers in the 3rd quarter alone opended the door for the Steelers to comback and win the game 31-24 to move on to their 5th AFC championship game in 10 years.
Big Ben has proven once again he knows how to get it done in the postseason. Big Ben went 19/32 for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. His numbers werent staggering like Aaron Rodgers were but on a crucial 3rd and 18,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEqyFcChvAM his 58 yard strike to rookie Antonio Brown with less than two minutes to go set the Steelers up for the go ahead score.
As the Steelers were coming back in the second half, the Ravens could not function on offense. They had -4 yards on Offense in the third quarter. YES -4 Yards, you read that right. They ended up with a measly 28 yards of total offense in the second half.
With all that being said, Ravens still had last licks and on fourth down, Flacco throws a nice ball to a wideopen T.J. Houshmandzadeh who just flat out drops it. can't win football games dropping late passes at the end of the game, especially against a top knotch team like the Steelers. with mistakes like these it is no wonder why the Steelers are 9-0 in the playoffs against division teams. Steelers await the winner from the Jets/Patriots game. the game is at New England if the Patriots win and in Pittsburgh if the Jets win.
