In the NFL playoffs, the Ravens defeated the Steelers with Derrick Henry leading the charge.
For 299 yards, Baltimore ran.
The Ravens, constructed for speed, won their first playoff game by utilizing their running abilities.
On Saturday, the Baltimore Ravens combined for 299 yards on the ground, with Derrick Henry leading the way, in their 28-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Steelers offense failed to score any points in the first half, while the Ravens scored two touchdowns in the second quarter.
In the first half, Baltimore led 19-2, with Jackson finding Hill to make it 21-0 and give the Ravens over 300 yards of offense.
Although the Steelers were pinned at their own 2-yard line, Russell Wilson managed to keep the drive alive with three third-down dimes, the final one being a 30-yard touchdown to Van Jefferson. However, Baltimore responded with a 44-yard score by Henry.
With 3:24 remaining in the third quarter, Wilson scored another touchdown, this time to George Pickens, making it a two-score game.
Despite the slowdown of the Ravens offense in the second half, Pittsburgh failed to make any progress in the fourth quarter, giving up possession on downs halfway through the quarter in a desperate attempt to tie the game, and Pickens' touchdown would ultimately be the final score.
Henry had 186 yards on 26 carries, with two of those finding the end zone. Jackson, on the other hand, had 81 rushing yards and went 16-for-21 for 175 yards through the air.
The Buffalo Bills are now the most likely opponent for Baltimore in the divisional round, but if they lose to the Denver Broncos, they would face the Houston Texans instead.
