Steelers defense not quite enough for win over Ravens

There are lies, damn lies and statistics. And typically, you can use statistics to back up any argument you'd like to make.

But in the case of the Steelers' 26-23 overtime loss Sunday at Heinz Field, the statistics didn't lie.

This was a game of inches. A game played in the trenches. A game that was going to be decided by whichever team made a fatal mistake.

In the end, it was the Steelers who blinked, as JuJu Smith-Schuster fumbled on the Steelers' second offensive play of overtime, setting up Justin Tucker's 46-yard game-winning field goal with 5:31 remaining in the extra period.
