The Pittsburgh Steelers carried a 7-6 lead into halftime of their Sunday afternoon game against the division rival Ravens, but in the opening minutes of the second half, they squandered it away.
Ben Roethlisberger threw a wayward pass on the opening play of the Steelers' first drive of the second half, and linebacker Zachary Orr (who had a great first half defending the run) made him pay for it:
GOING THE OTHER WAY!

Big Ben's pass is picked by @ZO35! #RavensFlock#BALvsPIThttps://t.co/JnPY3SDUnx
Three plays later, the Ravens took the lead. Old reliable Steve Smith beat his man up the seam and made a diving grab on an absolutely laser from Joe Flacco.
An absolute DIME from @JoeFlacco.

And @89SteveSmith takes care of the rest.

If you pay close enough attention before the play, you'll see the Pittsburgh safety roll his coverage to the right side of the field, opening up the exact area Smith was headed with his right. That's good design and good fortune.
Baltimore went for two after the score and converted, with another Flacco-to-Smith pass.
