Studs and Duds from Ravens 18-16 loss to the Steelers in Week 11
Chris Boswell tied a franchise record with six field goals, and the Pittsburgh Steelers held Lamar Jackson and the NFL’s top-ranked offense in check during an 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Lamar Jackson had four carries for 46 yards, while Derrick Henry was held to 65 yards (5.0 avg) on 13 carries and one rushing touchdown, tying the single-season franchise record for touchdowns.
With preparation for the Chargers set to begin, here are the studs and duds from Sunday’s loss.
Dud — Lamar Jackson

Jackson won’t perform like an MVP every game, and Sunday was another ugly performance in a house of horrors. Jackson is now 1-4 in games started against Pittsburgh after going 16-33 passing for 207 yards (6.3 avg), one touchdown, one interception, and a 66.1 rating, the lowest of this season.

The Steelers held the Ravens ‘ top-ranked offense to 329 yards and just 124 yards rushing. Baltimore attempted 33 passes and just 19 rushing attempts against one of the NFL’s stingiest defensive units. Furthermore, with Baltimore lacking any true explosive plays, Keaton Mitchell played just two snaps. Baltimore (7-4) was held to season lows in points and yards while committing 12 penalties and turning the ball over three times.
Dud — Justin Tucker

Steelers kicker Chris Boswell hit on all six of his attempts, whereas Tucker sent two of his tries wide left — a continuation of his season-long struggles.
Dud –Derrick Henry

Henry tied a franchise record by scoring his 15th rushing touchdown of the season but was limited to just 65 yards and wasn’t even on the field for the ill-fated 2-point attempt.
Stud –Odafe Oweh

Zach Orr’s maligned defense held Pittsburgh to 4-16 on third downs and 303 total yards, but Pittsburgh held the football for 36:22, compared to Baltimore’s 23:38, as the Steelers are now 8-2 following an 18-16 win over the Ravens in Week 11.
