Ravens at Steelers scouting report

Patrick Smith /

Quarterback Joe Flacco is just 212 yards away from his first 4,000-yard season, but he has been intercepted 13 times, the second most in his career. He has been picked off in four consecutive games. The Ravens need him to play a much cleaner and decisive game to beat a quality team on its home field. Mike Wallace burned his former team with a 95-yard touchdown catch earlier the season. It would behoove Flacco to get both Wallace and Steve Smith Sr. involved early.

Ben Roethlisberger has cooled off a bit, throwing three touchdown passes and four interceptions over his past three games. He has gone five straight weeks without a 300-yard game. Star wide receiver Antonio Brown has also been quiet lately as opposing defenses have been using the two-high-safety look to take away the deep ball and force Eli Rogers and Sammie Coates to beat them. The Steelers' underrated offensive line has allowed just 17 sacks, the second fewest in the league.
