As a Pitt season ticket holder who saw Kenny in his whole Pitt career believe me he learned and polished his technique of running for his life and passing on the run at Pitt!

Well it seems clear the first half of the Season something was wrong with Najee physically. Healthy Naj looks confident and explosive. Warren banging out 6 per carry, what a 1-2 punch we have going. Warren also strong in the passing game converting a couple 3rd Downs. Yeah we all want more points, but it’s Steelers Ravens, if you don’t expect this type of game and outcome your new to football.

[NoOneYaKnow]

Not going to lie, I gave up on the season weeks ago. I've commented as such everywhere. The season, mathematically, is probably still over. But when Pickett hit Najee for the go ahead touchdown, I fist-pumped a 'YEAH!", and realized that a slight tear had come to my eye. "Can they really do this?" I thought. Also, I realized I am watching so much growth finally happening in these young guys that the future might be very bright. It feels like the cloud of not having Ben anymore, of not having that BEAST O-line anymore....of Canadas complete incompetence...could be lifting. I understand now I lied to myself. I never really gave up on the season. That swell of emotion that erupted in me made it clear. I never really gave up, I just didnt want to get crushed again. We probably wont make the playoffs. If we do, we probably wont do much with it. But, as I fully realized tonight, regardless of what I tell myself, there is always HOPE.

I’ve been harsh on Najee but he really has turned his career around. He won’t break one for 60 yards bcuz he just doesn’t have the breakaway speed but his strength is moving the pile, getting good carry avg & moving the chains. Incredible 2nd effort time & time again. His YPC is really improving. He could be an all time great.

DK you know I look forward to these postgame evaluations even more so than the NFL pundits

[terrywbreedlove]

These two games with the Ravens are building that hard rivalry fight within our young players. Now they understand what the Veterans have been telling them.

[ronchess]

First rookie QB in NFL history to win back to back games on final drive look it up....

[artisthines]

I went to this rivalry game last year, last game of the season. It was the same EXACT score, 16-13 Steelers. This time we did it in REGULATION.

[brooksfu]

Doesn’t it feel like the football Gods want this to happen? Thanks Franco

[chriskilhoffer]

O Line played lights out! The big 5 and tight ends won this game! When you rack up 180 on the Ravens, that's physical dominance! Kenny is cool under pressure!

[chaseschneier]

Great win !! Gutsy, unpolished, Steelers style! Better O line play (faint praise) but Okorafor was weak/slow tonight.

[rick]

One kinda subtle thing to I think. While unfortunately they couldn't stay inbounds a time or two but seemed like the receivers and others when Pickett did scramble they tried to come back/to try to help keep the play alive. I we're calling her in some commentator or observer saying that it seemed like once a play broke down or Pickett start to scramble the receivers in such would just stop leaving Pickett with only the option of sack or throw it away.

[jamesforeman]

I wasn't unhappy with the offense. Kenny will get better in the Redzone next year.

[rick]

Oh I wonder on that touchdown play this. I don't know it's just because how the the length of the play to develop but it looked like there was like two players just about in the same spot though?. I mean if the one Raven didn't have his back to the play covering the WR or such he could've maybe easily broken up or picked the pass off that was in front of him. Thankfully the one Raven defender didn't turn himself around and one heck of a pinpoint throw by Pickett and Harris making the catch

[JoeFixIt]

Can we please talk about the way the refs tried to hose them twice?? One was the crap call on cam that gave them a first down and eventual score, but the other one at the end of the game was simply mind boggling. Never in my life have I ever seen a guy dive to catch a ball, go untouched, stand up and just drop the ball on the ground and the ref actually said no fumble because he gave himself up. What??!!!?? He wasn't touched, he didn't get up and then kneel it down....he stood up and just dropped the live ball on the ground. I seem to remember a rookie plaxico that did something similar except he got up and spiked it, and he's on blooper reels now. Thank God Minkah got the pick the very next play, but give me a damn break!

[sdresden]

Heyward NT, Fitzpatrick SS. Build a lb corp.

[johnwebb]

Huntley's terrible passing gave the game to Pittsburgh

[B-ty]

Because Baltimore is built to not only beat Pittsburgh but to be Pittsburgh. They will never be as great as we Pittsburgh Stillers are though and will always be a copy cat team!

[JAMESJJEFFERS]

Oh Wow I Remember when DK was crying This isn't a Good Team Man. Giving up around game 5. Pushing all these complaints and whining LOL. Now Listen to the change up. 😂😂😂😂 Man these folks are wishy washy. 😂😂😂 Brown's Fans and Media believe more in their team than these guys.. Smh. I would love to see and read more positive influences than negative. Belief is something more people struggle with. 1st Year Offense will struggle but where they are at in their struggles is Beautiful. Ahead of the Curve. Tired of these women in our Man Sport. Lol

Try moving away from the stadium lights and that annoying noise in the background next
