Defense holds twice...but
The Ravens defense has stopped the Steelers twice in the early minutes of the first quarter, but they'll still need to shore some things up if they want to keep Ben Roethlisberger under wraps. The Steelers have failed to convert on three pass plays already where the receiver was open -- most notably the quick pass over the middle to Rashard Mendenhall that should given Pittsburgh a touchdown off the turnover.
Considering the circumstances, being down 3-0 right now isn't half bad.
Instant update: 3-3 isn't bad at this point either, but that miscommunication between Joe Flacco and Demetrius Williams on that third-and-2 pass near the goal line may come back to haunt the Ravens.

Can the Ravens defensive coordinator resign at halftime?
They do know you are supposed to play defense, right?

Any team that has to play Frank Walker has no cornerbacks

So many boneheaded mistakes. The Ravens don't belong in the playoffs. Why don't the coaches start giving out heavy fines to these players. It seems to be our dancers and talkers who are making the biggest mistakes.
