Punked in playoffs again: Ravens run over Steelers, 28-14

BALTIMORE — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

It happened again. For the fifth consecutive trip to the postseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers defense was eviscerated on Saturday, as the Baltimore Ravens gashed the highest-paid defense in the land for 465 yards in a 28-14 domination of their AFC North rivals at M&T Bank Stadium on Saturday.

With both Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson torching the Pittsburgh defense on the ground, the Steelers gave up the most rushing yards in team history in a playoff game. Henry set the all-time record for a back running against a Pittsburgh defense with 186 yards on 26 carries. Jackson added 81 yards on 15 rushes.

The Ravens took an early lead with a Jackson to Rashod Bateman touchdown pass in the first quarter, but after that, it was all running game.

Baltimore got the ball with 12:05 to play in the second quarter and rattled off a 13-play, 85-yard drive that was made up entirely of running plays. The big play on that drive was a 20-yard run from Jackson through the heart of the Steelers defense. Henry found pay dirt with an 8-yard strike.

The Ravens scored again in a two-minute drill drive that saw Jackson hit Justice Hill for a short score.
