FLACCO STRUGGLES: Joe Flacco (right) had the worst game of his rookie season, completing 13 of 30 passes for 141 yards. He threw three interceptions, one of which was returned 40 yards for a touchdown by Troy Polamalu. His quarterback rating of 18.2 was a career worst.
MCGAHEE HURT: Ravens running back Willis McGahee is "neurologically intact" after being carted off the field in the fourth quarter, a team spokesman said. He hurt his neck on a head-to-head collision with safety Ryan Clark but was talking and moving, according to teammates. McGahee will remain at a Pittsburgh hospital overnight as a precaution.
DOWNFIELD PROBLEMS: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took advantage of a banged-up Ravens secondary, completing three passes of at least 30 yards. His 65-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes gave Pittsburgh a 13-0 lead in the second quarter.
