Wasn’t that last tilt a keeper? (writing this at noon EST) They don’t get much better than that! And the ending-I did not see that coming. Onward.

To The Game!

Steelers/Ravens:

Flowers For None: Zay has been ruled out of the game. Ordinarily I’d think that a receiving corps whose best wr is Rashod Bateman would be very suspect but this is one of the very rare scenarios whereby the sum total of the players (and system they use) is much better than the individual parts.

-Streaks: Bally cruised into the postseason on a five game W tear. Oh boy. Pitt’s woes were very well-documented-they’re pretty much the Blues Brothers car that imploded at the end of the chase scene the moment they exit it. Anyway, they limped, waddled, doddered, staggered, and stumbled to the finish line with four losses in a row.

-Can those Steelers get to the 24 point mark because I can see the Ravens easily reaching that figure.

-In this rivalry the home team has won seven straight tilts.

-One fella that did some damage last time round, (162 yards rushing) King Henry, set a record this year! Hold on, it’s for most yards gained without winning the rushing title.

-Pitt needs to turn the ball over and Lamar has been able to be stripped in the past. Watt will most likely be obliging on that front.

-It feels as though these guys play each other every other year in the playoffs but they’re meeting for the first time in a decade.

-Which Pickens?: The mercurial George had 1 catch for 0 yards last week vs the Cards but had a personal high of 8 grabs for 89 the last he played the Ravens. It’s anyone’s guess.
