Things seemed rather bleak throughout the first half of Sunday’s AFC North tilt between the Baltimore Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field.
Pittsburgh’s offense was lifeless before standout receiver Diontae Johnson dropped a would-be touchdown late in the first half, a half in which the Steelers ran just 18 total offensive plays while hold the football for just over eight minutes.
Injuries also wrecked the Steelers early in the game, forcing reserve guard John Leglue — just signed to the 53-man roster this week — into the starting lineup at left guard in place of BJ Finney, who was quickly ruled out with a back injury.
