Jackson discovered Isaiah Seemingly for a nine-yard landing to open the scoring within the first quarter, whereas Wilson answered with a one-yard TD toss to MyCole Pruitt, and the Steelers had appeared poised to take the lead when the veteran quarterback broke free for a 19-yard run in Baltimore territory just for the QB to fumble the soccer after an enormous hit by Ar’Darius Washington on the finish of the identical play.
The Ravens then drove 96 yards down the sphere and took a 14-7 lead on a Jackson 14-yard landing go to Rashod Bateman, earlier than Justin Tucker and Chris Boswell traded in 51-yard discipline objectives to finish the primary half.
After Wilson and Patterson’s scoring connection tied the sport for the Steelers within the third quarter, the Ravens would in the end run away with issues thereafter.

Scoring Abstract
What was stated?
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson: “I feel like we’ve been busting our behind all season long, had ups and downs throughout this whole season, but to clinch a playoff against a great team like that, that’s great. That means we’re moving in the right direction.”
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin: “We didn’t control the run game. We never did. When you don’t, you’ve got to do some splash plays or win the turnover battle in a significant way, and we didn’t do that either. The rest is history, as they say.”
