Steelers Daily News & Links: Your daily stop for all of the news and links from the Pittsburgh Steelers, NFL
? The Baltimore Ravens stopped Cincinnati on a 2-point conversion with 38 seconds remaining to scrape by the Cincinnati Bengals 35-34 on Thursday night. Ravens quarterback Jackson threw three fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rally Baltimore from a 21-7 third-quarter deficit.
Cincinnati wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase went off with 11 receptions for 264 yards and three touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to take down the Ravens. Baltimore’s defense continues to struggle this season, but Jackson is playing at an MVP level right now.
âIt starts with Lamar, and oftentimes it ends with Lamar,â Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said after the game. âBut in between Lamar and Lamar, there’s a lot of great players out there that are surrounding him. I think that’s kind of where our offense is at right now.â

? The Commanders offense against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense is Mina Kimes’ favorite matchup of the weekend, in large part because of Pittsburgh excelling against many of the things Washington does best — QB runs, tempo, intermediate passes.
The Commanders run by-far the most no-huddle offense (333 plays) and Daniels is completing 70.2% of his passes in no-huddle.
Commanders O vs Steelers D is my favorite matchup of the weekend, in large part bc Pittsburgh has been excellent vs many of the things WAS does best–QB runs, tempo, intermediate passes.

? Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson went to the hospital to visit Rochester High School football player, Carter Mason, who collapsed during a game last month.
The family of Carter Mason told KDKA-TV that Wilson visited Mason this week at UPMC Children’s Hospital in Pittsburgh. Mason’s family said he is on the rehab floor at the hospital as he recovers from his injuries.
During a game on Oct. 4 against Shenango, Mason took a hit in the fourth quarter and walked off the field before he collapsed on the sidelines.
Mason suffered a seizure and a brain bleed, his family said. His grandmother told KDKA-TV last month that Mason has suffered concussions in the past while playing football.
