Steelers miss chance to clinch AFC North because of ‘two negative plays’

Associated Press  

BALTIMORE — All season long, the Pittsburgh Steelers have depended on a standard formula for winning: stop the run, protect the ball, force the opponent into mistakes. And we didn’t do that either.” Pittsburgh came into the game tied for first in the NFL with a plus-18 turnover differential. The Steelers picked off Lamar Jackson early in the fourth quarter while trailing 24-17, but Wilson’s ill-timed interception came just two plays later to effectively seal the deal. Really, two negative plays.” The first one came when Wilson broke into the open and appeared on course to score a touchdown for a 14-7 lead. The quarterback lost control of the ball and Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy pounced on it, ruining Pittsburgh’s opportunity to move in front early in a game it ultimately never led.
