Pittsburgh Steelers Week 11 Recap

The Pittsburgh Steelers edged the Baltimore Ravens 18-16 in a defensive slugfest, fueled by Chris Boswell’s six field goals, tying a franchise record. The outright NFL spread victory moved Pittsburgh to 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings between the AFC North foes with each decided by seven or fewer points. The defense stymied Baltimore, holding its top-ranked offense to season lows in points scored (16) and yards accrued (329). The Steelers forced three turnovers and capitalized on 12 Ravens penalties. Linebacker Payton Wilson delivered a pivotal fourth-quarter interception, halting a Baltimore comeback attempt and setting up Boswell’s final 50-yard field goal. The Steelers’ offense struggled, with Russell Wilson throwing for 205 yards and an interception in the end zone. However, timely defensive stops and Boswell’s consistency kept Pittsburgh ahead the whole way through. Boswell connected from 32, 52, 43, 27, 36, and 50 yards, allowing the Steelers to remain in the catbird seat of the AFC North. Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson finished 16 of 33 for 207 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, but his struggles against Pittsburgh persisted. Now 1-4 as a starter against the Steelers, Jackson committed crucial errors under pressure, while Derrick Henry was held to 65 rushing yards despite scoring his 15th touchdown of the NFL betting season. Pittsburgh improves its record and solidifies its reputation as Jackson’s kryptonite.

2024 Pittsburgh Steelers Schedule, Results & Record

The Rooney family has owned the Pittsburgh Steelers since 1933. Original owner Art Rooney bought the franchise after hitting a big bet on a horse race. As incredible as it sounds, the Steelers were not a success in the first four decades under Rooney’s ownership. In fact, they were a laughingstock. From 1933 through 1971, the Steelers had one playoff appearance.

In 1972 the franchise saw a dramatic turnaround that has lasted until today. Pittsburgh made the playoffs as AFC Central champions. In the 1972 AFC divisional playoffs, the Steelers beat the Oakland Raiders with the famed “Immaculate Reception.” The franchise took off with eight consecutive playoff appearances and four Super Bowl titles.

Stability is the hallmark of the Steelers. Since 1969 they have had three head coaches. Mike Tomlin has served in that role since 2007.
