A pair of AFC matchups on Christmas Day have decided the final two spots of one-half of the NFL playoff bracket. The football day began with a late afternoon game pitting AFC North foes Pittsburgh and Baltimore. A back and forth contest which included a slow start by both offenses, only to see the stars shine in the second half.
Early in the second half, the Steelers were down 10 points and the offense, namely QB Ben Roethlisberger and WR Antonio Brown, were being held in check by the tough Ravens defense. Then, Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell took over the fourth quarter with a pair of touchdowns, one rushing and the other as a receiver, the second of the day for Big Ben.
