Lamar Jackson was on fire, throwing two touchdowns in the first half. Derrick Henry also had a great game, scoring twice and leading a powerful running attack. The Ravens jumped out to a 21-0 lead by halftime, dominating the game.
Baltimore’s rushing game was impressive, outpacing the Steelers 299 yards to just 29. That’s the most rushing yards Pittsburgh has ever allowed in a playoff game. Ouch!
Jackson was determined to show off his skills, both passing and running. He kept the Ravens moving down the field, and they really took control early on. The Steelers, on the other hand, struggled to keep up.
This loss means the Steelers end their season with five straight defeats, and they’ve now lost six playoff games in a row. It’s been a rough stretch for them, especially in the postseason.
The Ravens had a solid game plan, starting their first drive deep in their own territory and marching down the field for a touchdown. They avoided mistakes that have hurt them in the past against Pittsburgh.
Jackson completed 16 of 21 passes for 175 yards and added 81 rushing yards. Henry was a beast, running for 186 yards. The Ravens were just too much for the Steelers to handle.
Pittsburgh did manage to score a touchdown in the second half, but it wasn’t enough. They had a few bright moments, but overall, it was a disappointing end to their season.
Now, the Ravens are looking ahead to their next game, hoping for a favorable matchup. Meanwhile, the Steelers will have to regroup and figure out what went wrong this season.
