I know revisiting the Ravens Christmas Day loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers isn’t exactly a fun thing to do, but we’re not done learning from it. The Ravens had a lead late in the fourth quarter. Ben Roethlisberger had time for a game winning drive and with the help of Antonio Brown, he delivered. We’ve griped about the Ravens prevent defense in that situation, but what was Dean Pees going to accomplish with a different strategy?
The Ravens were without Jimmy Smith and the secondary wasn’t exactly a strong suit for the team. The Ravens could have brought the pressure on Ben Roethlisberger but it’s not like they were a great pass rushing team.
