Number Three

Sorry for the lack of a post yesterday. I will make it up by posting numbers two and three today. The first 

December 14th, 2008
Steelers 13 Ravens 9

I was nearly having a heart attack almost the entire game. This was another low scoring affair for these two rivals that came down to one of the greatest catches I have ever seen.

Neither offense seemed to have an answer for the opposing teams defenses, as only one touchdown was scored at the end of the game. The Steelers picked off Flacco twice as the Ravens picked off Big Ben twice and forced two Steeler fumbles.

The Raven's Matt Stover kicked three field goals (28, 26 , 28) and helped the Ravens to hold a slim 9-6 lead in the fourth quarter. Ben Roethlisberger then orchestrated a drive in the final few minutes of the game before hitting Santonio Holmes for a touchdown as he fell from the endzone. After review the catch was upheld and the Steelers swept the Ravens for the first time since 2002.
