SCOUTING REPORT

Pittsburgh typically brings out a sharper Joe Flacco, who has thrown 20 touchdown passes compared with nine interceptions and has compiled an 84.7 quarterback rating in 17 regularseason meetings versus the Steelers. Flacco has been picked off in a league-high nine straight games dating to last year. The Ravens badly need to get wide receivers Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman involved. They’ve combined for four catches for 26 yards and have made no downfield impact. |

After much preseason hype, the Ben Roethlisberger-led offense hasn’t found its rhythm. Roethlisberger has five touchdown passes and one interception, but he put the blame on himself for the team’s tepid offensive performances. The Steelers rank 15th in passing yards per game (233.3 yards), 19th in yards per attempt (6.7) and 25th in third-down conversion rate (32.4). In two games against the Ravens last year, Antonio Brown had 17 catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns.
