Ravens Dominate Steelers with Powerful Ground Game, Lead 14-0
In a thrilling AFC Wild Card playoff matchup, the Baltimore Ravens are making a statement with a commanding 14-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Ravens have been in complete control early, using a balanced combination of running and passing to break through the Steelers' defense. But what stands out most in this game so far is the performance of running back Derrick Henry.
With the Ravens' first touchdown of the game, they showcased their ability to mix things up, including a combination of passing and running plays. However, when it came time to extend their lead, it was Henry’s power running that stole the show. With 4:09 remaining in the first half, Henry powered through for an 8-yard touchdown, capping off an impressive 13-play, 85-yard drive. What made this drive even more significant was the fact that every single one of those 13 plays was a run, showing the Ravens' dominance on the ground. The Steelers were left scrambling with no answer for Henry’s power and Lamar Jackson’s agility as they ran roughshod down the field.

Through the first half, Henry and Jackson have combined for a total of 156 rushing yards, with Henry contributing a 17-yard run and Jackson adding a 19-yard scamper of his own. The Ravens’ ground game is rolling, and the Steelers' defense has no response. The Steelers are struggling on offense, and head coach Mike Tomlin seems to lack confidence in his offense after opting to punt on fourth-and-inches from their own 29-yard-line, which could have been a game-changing moment.
If the Steelers are going to have any chance of bouncing back, they will need to take some risks. The decision to punt shows that Pittsburgh isn’t in a position to challenge the Ravens on offense, and without taking some chances, the game could slip away from them quickly. As the Ravens continue to pound the ball on the ground, it’s clear that they have taken full control, and unless the Steelers adjust fast, they could find themselves facing an uphill battle for the remainder of this game.
All eyes are now on whether the Steelers can regroup and create some offense to challenge Baltimore’s run-heavy attack. With the Ravens playing so efficiently, it looks like the Steelers have their work cut out for them. This game is far from over, but the early signs are clear—the Ravens are in full control and are making their presence felt in this crucial playoff matchup.
