NFL: Steelers move closer to playoffs

The Pittsburgh Steelers did their part to give themselves the best chance of making the NFL playoffs with a 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium.

However, the Steelers (10-7) now face a loss to the Buffalo Bills or Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday to ensure they can play more football after the end of the regular schedule.

The game broke out in the fourth quarter when Diontae Johnson scored the game-winning major for the Steelers by catching Mason Rudolph's pass before escaping toward the Ravens' end zone for a 71-yard touchdown.

Najee Harris scored the game's first touchdown early in the game. Isaiah likely responded for the Ravens (13-4).

In his team's win, Rudolph was a near-perfect passer, completing 18 of his 20 attempts through the air and rushing for 152 yards. Tyler Huntley, his counterpart, had 146 yards on 15 successful passes.
