He pointed out that Pittsburgh went to more max protection to deal with the Baltimore assault.The move paid off in a big way, as the Steelers’ kept tight ends Matt Spaeth and Heath Miller in to chip and protect the OTs against Suggs and Dumervil.

"The Ravens suffered their largest margin of defeat of the season Sunday night. They were routed by 20 points after falling by a combined 17 points in their other three losses. “We’ll bounce back,” coach John Harbaugh said. “The NFL season is long for a reason. You can look back at every season, and history will prove that you can be blown out and bounce back. We’ve done it before. Plenty of NFL teams have done it before. Teams have done it this year in the National Football League. That’s what we’ve got to do. There are still seven games left in the season. There’s a lot of opportunities to win football games.”"
