Ravens: On the doorstep...several times
Joe Flacco and Ray Rice kept hope alive with a clutch fourth-down play that set up a game-tying field goal by Billy Cundiff, but the remaining couple minutes of overtime were a montage of penalty flags (thrown against both teams) and missed opportunities.
The play that will have Ravens fans tossing and turning tonight if the overtime doesn't go well was the near interception by Lardarius Webb on the Steelers' final possession of regulation. He jumped the rout and had the ball all the way, but it bounced off his chest and he couldn't gather it in.
Then came the long punt return by Chris Carr that was called back and a variety of other mishaps that teased the crowd but ended in futility.
Overtime beckons.

Doesn't bode well for the Ravens that they had such a struggle to win tonight, but a win is a win is a win. At least Mr 6 rings can go shove it....yer precious Stillers lost, despite getting plenty of your usual help from the zebras.

Webb had an "almost" on that play, but he has shown himself not to wear down playing defense on a regular basis.
