Ryan Mallett rewards faith in unlikeliest Ravens victory of season

BALTIMORE -- For the first time since high school, Ryan Mallett wrote a line just above his heart on the shirt underneath his uniform: "I can do all things through Christ."

In many ways, the 20-17 upset victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers was about faith for Mallett and the Baltimore Ravens.

This was about the struggling Ravens (5-10) having the confidence to hand over the offense to a strong-armed quarterback who had been with the team for only 12 days. This was about Baltimore taking a chance on someone whose behavior knocked him out of the league for two months.
