Charlie Batch performed well to upset the Ravens and halts a 15-game home winning streak
Veteran quarterback Charlie Batch, who's 37, did a solid game on Sunday to get a precious victory on the road to keep Pittsburgh's Wild Card hopes alive and also a small chance to get the AFC North division over their rivals Ravens. Baltimore missed the big opportunity to clinch this division.
Steelers' passer throws for 276 yards completing 25/36, 1 score and 1 pick. Batch bounces back perfectly after his 3-interception game last week against other division rivals Cleveland Browns.
He stayed in his register, didn't try fancy things. Every Steelers' receivers adapt his pass routes to quarterback skills and it worked perfectly.
Both Steelers' halfbacks Isaac Redman and Jonathan Dwyer combine 92 yards and 1 score, they help to open the passing game, making their thrower more comfortable.
Pittsburgh also managed the game clock the best way as they as the Steelers keep the football from 6.14 til the end of regulation as kicker Shaun Suisham kicks the winning field goal with 3 seconds left.
With big Ben returning to practice very soon, Pittsburgh is in a favorable position to, at least, get a Wild Card playoff berth.

Philadelphia continues to struggle
The Eagles fall short against America's team, conceding their eighth loss in a row.
Playing without key players both receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin but, most of all, tailback LeSean McCoy, Philly, almost, handle this crucial lack.
Nick Foles had a good game, completing 22/34 for 251 yards and 1 score, rookie running Bryce Brown had a big night running the football 24 times for 169 yards and 2 scores.
It would have been perfect if Brown did not lost a fumble which is returned to the house by first rounder cornerback Morris Claiborne.
