Third string Steelers QB out performs Ravens' Flacco as Steelers show Ravens and NFL the risks of misjudging them.

The Steelers won this game because Charlie Batch did not let them lose. In doing so, he out-performed Ravens QB Joe Flacco in Baltimore, something that doesn't happen often.

Despite a solid effort by backup quarterback Charlie Batch, it was long-time defensive hero James Harrison who returned to old form and made a splash play just in the nick of time as the Steelers won a crucial AFC North game in Baltimore on Sunday.

Was Steelers coach Mike Tomlin's handshake not courteous enough for Ravens coach John Harbaugh? Was Harbaugh being too sensitive after a tough loss? Let the pointless debate ensue.

The Steelers longtime back-up quarterback may have played his last game, and he showed his emotion after defeating the Ravens 23-20 on the game's final play.

Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch, perhaps playing the last game of his career, may have saved his greatest performance for his final - and most dramatic - game.

We've made it to Game 11 of the season, and the 2005, 2008, and 2010 Steelers are still in the playoff race. Because of an uncharacteristically weak AFC conference, so are the 2012 Steelers. Whether they stay there is still a question mark.

Looking at the game play-by-play, it appears the Steelers' rotation of running backs wasn't nearly as big of an issue as it seemed immediately following the game.

The 2012 version of the Steelers' defense is impressive in terms of getting the ball back to the offense, but the lack of takeaways is hurting them. Their 20-14 loss at Cleveland in Week 12 is an example of the value of takeaways vs. punts.
