Because we are part of the best rivalry in the NFL: Steelers/Ravens, we see this stuff very closely, but what does the national sports media think of what happened on the field, once again, yesterday at Acrisure Stadium: that no matter how high flying the Ravens offense is, particularly this year, the Steelers have their number. Yesterday, with the Steelers effectively neutralizing both quarterback Jackson and insanely talented running back Derrick Henry, NBC sportswriter Andrew Greif says the Steelers completed "the hardest act in football: shutting down a Ravens offense so efficient in both the pass and the run, that advanced statistics ranked as a statistical outlier." Greif cites Jackson being held to a season-low 48.4% pass completion, being sacked 4 times, and intercepted once. Greif adds how the Steelers were able to hold the NFL's leading rusher, Derrick Henry, to 65 total yards and one touchdown. Here's more, including how Ravens coach John Harbaugh blamed the loss on the two Ravens missed field goals: https://www.nbcnews.com/sports/nfl/steelers-ravens-lamar-jackson-rcna180560
