Pittsburgh steelers stun Birds 23-20

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Because there's still some lifestyle in the 37-year-old arm of Charlie Set, the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh steelers stay in existence in the AFC Northern. Batch instructed a 61-yard generate in the ending moments and Mark Suisham started a 42-yard area objective as time terminated to provide the Pittsburgh steelers a 23-20 success over the Baltimore Birds on Weekend. Playing without harmed Ben Roethlisberger for a third directly several weeks time, the Pittsburgh steelers transformed to Set for the second activity in a row. The 15-year expert went 25 for 36 for 276 metres, used a landing and rallied the Pittsburgh steelers in a must-win activity against their disliked department competitors. ''This is big. It was another chance of me to come out here and begin, which is unusual right now,'' said Set, who was raised to the top of the level data after back-up Byron Leftwich was harmed against Baltimore two several weeks ago ''To be able to go on the street and do something that nobody outside of our locker space believed that we could do is big,'' Set said. . Especially after Set and the Pittsburgh steelers dedicated eight turnovers the other day in a reduction to Cleveland. ''I realized going into it that I had to perform better,'' Set said. ''I had to go out there and cause this violation the way that I know I can. I sensed the devices did an excellent job of getting begin, the unpleasant range did an excellent job of defending. I was really able to set my legs and just perform soccer and have fun.'' The result? ''Big necessary win for us this evening in a aggressive atmosphere. We don't take that gently,'' trainer Scott Tomlin said. Pittsburgh (7-5) clicked a two-game dropping ability and kept in existence its thin desires of overpowering Baltimore (9-3) in the AFC Northern. The groups have divided their activities this period, with each successful by three factors. Seven of the last eight regular-season activities between the groups have been created the decision by that same edge. ''That was a common Pittsburgh-Baltimore activity,'' Birds trainer David Harbaugh said. ''It's awesome how it performs out that way. Pittsburgh trailed 13-3 in the first 50 percent and 20-13 in it all 1 / 4 before returning. Set skipped a begin up Scott Wallace in the end area near the end of the first 50 percent, but the cagey qb more than created up for it after halftime. The Birds could have clinched a playoff cabin with a success. Instead, Baltimore had its 15-game house successful ability clicked and also missing for initially in 13 activities against department enemies. Baltimore's last defeat at house was against Pittsburgh in Dec 2010. ''This activity didn't figure out the AFC Northern. We still can go forward and win the department,'' said operating returning Ray Grain, who ran for 78 metres in only 12 provides. ''We'll go forward and try to get over this reduction.'' Batch outplayed Baltimore qb Joe Flacco, who went 16 for 34 for 188 metres and motivated Pittsburgh's come back by dropping a fumble in it all 1 / 4. ''I think we skipped a number of possibilities beginning to really take a keep of the experience even more,'' Flacco said. ''I believed we could have put up 30 or 40 factors these days and we didn't. I think that's a expression that we harm ourselves.'' The Pittsburgh steelers provided the soccer away three periods. The Birds transformed two of the takeaways into touchdowns, and the third - a bouncing interception by Ed Reed in the end area - kept a 20-13 cause unchanged with 10:59 remaining. Pittsburgh got the soccer returning, however, when Wayne Harrison pressured a fumble by Flacco at the 27. ''Guy came around hit my hand and hit the soccer and just got it out,'' Flacco said. ''I wish I could have organised on but wasn't able to.'' Batch used a 7-yard landing complete to Heath Burns to tie it with 7:24 to go. The when Pittsburgh got the soccer returning, Set revealed his poise with a beat-the-clock objective. The key perform in the ultimate generate was a 15-yard achievement to Wallace on a third-and-7. After producing only 93 metres in violation in the first 50 percent, the Pittsburgh steelers started out the third 1 / 4 with a 78-yard landing generate to take even at 13. Set used a 43-yard complete to Burns before Jonathan Dwyer obtained on a 16-yard run. Later in the 1 / 4, Set linked with Emmanuel Sanders near midfield with no defensive player in vision. But Sanders strangely missing his keep on the soccer after getting two actions, and the Birds retrieved on the Baltimore 37. The Birds transformed the miscue into a 20-13 cause. Flacco finished a 19-yard complete to Dennis Pitta before Grain took a handoff, veered right, then divided remaining and outside for a 34-yard ranking. The arguing between these two acquainted enemies started with the starting begin, when several gamers had to be divided after Baltimore's Jacoby Jackson felled the soccer for a touchback. With the Birds up 6-3, Flacco used an up-for-grabs floater that was intercepted by He Clark near midfield. Pittsburgh provided it right returning, though, when extensive recipient Antonio Darkish took a handoff and ran remaining before tossing a complete across the area that was selected off by Corey Graham. Baltimore didn't spend the present. Flacco linked twice with Anquan Boldin during a four-play, 69-yard generate, along with a 31-yard landing toss just beyond Allen's arrive at to create it 13-3.
