Ravens bully the Steelers in the first half and don’t look back in 28-14 wild-card victory
CNNBaltimore, Maryland CNN — The Baltimore Ravens are going to go as far as Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson can carry them. It makes my job a lot easier.” Jackson and Henry simply ran through, around and over the Steelers’ defense on a massive drive to start the game, going 95 yards to open the scoring. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson runs with the ball against the Pittsburgh Steelers during the first half of an NFL wild-card playoff football game. “It goes a little faster for me, I was like, ‘Throw that thing away!” You know, it’s like, all I could say is wow.” The Steelers looked a bit more lively coming out of the locker room, stopping Baltimore on their first drive before getting on the board for the first time with a 30-yard pass from Russell Wilson to wide receiver Van Jefferson. Having found success going over the top of the Ravens defense on the Steelers’ first drive of the second half, Wilson went back to that strategy and connected with wideout George Pickens for another long touchdown, this time for 36 yards making the score 28-14.
