| Banged-Up Steelers Fall To Ravens 20-17 In Overtime | | |
Third-string quarterback Dennis Dixon was doing a fine job for the Pittsburgh Steelers in his first NFL start - until he was forced to work overtime. An interception by rookie Paul Kruger set up a 29-yard field goal by Billy Cundiff with 6:42 left in the extra session, giving the Baltimore Ravens a 20-17 victory Sunday night. For much of the game, Dixon did his best impersonation of Roethlisberger, throwing a 33-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes and even added a personal touch, running for a 24-yard touchdown to put Pittsburgh up 17-14 in the fourth quarter, but in overtime his lone turnover provided the Ravens (6-5) a much-needed win and sent the Steelers (6-5) to their third straight defeat - their longest skid since a three-game run in 2006.
