Season on the brink

WHAT HAPPENED: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for five first-half touchdowns amid one of the most embarrassing defensive performances in Ravens history.

WHAT IT MEANS: The Ravens have yet to win a division game, probably won't win the AFC North and likely will not make the playoffs.

TIME FOR A CHANGE: If this is what Steve McNair can do after three weeks off, maybe Brian Billick will go back to Kyle Boller.
