Pivotal factors

Nfl Week 9

Steelers At Ravens

October 29, 2000|By KEN MURRAY

Avoid turnovers: The Ravens' new starting quarterback, Trent Dilfer, threw an interception in the loss to Tennessee last week and had two fumbles, although neither was lost. He'll have to protect the ball better.

Contain Kordell: Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart's improvisational abilities can break down any defense, even this one.

Lose the frustration: Somehow, the Ravens have to break through their mental block on the goal line. Four games without a touchdown is long enough.
