The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers finally kicked off on Wednesday afternoon and it didn’t take long for big plays to start happening.
After the Ravens turned the ball over on a failed handoff between quarterback Robert Griffin III and running back Gus Edwards in Baltimore territory, the Steelers couldn’t take advantage and came away empty after they decided to go for it on fourth down from the Baltimore one-yard line. After holding the football for too long and with pressure in his face, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw up a prayer in the end zone. Underneath the lame duck of a pass was outside linebacker Tyus Bowser.

Ravens tackle Ronnie Stanley was ecstatic for his teammate but had words for the young defender. Stanley advised Bowser to stay in the end zone next time for the touchback.

Plays like Bowsers’ interception are the kinds of game-changing sequences the Ravens will need in order to win this football game. Being down so many players due to the coronavirus as well as injury, they’ll need to take advantage of mistakes by the Steelers.
