After throwing a beautiful touchdown pass to Torrey Smith in the first quarter, Joe Flacco looked to be having one of those brilliant nights he is capable of having. That, however, was not the case.
Flacco threw a costly interception in the second quarter that led to the Steelers taking their first lead of the ballgame. In my opinion, that was the turning point of the game.
Other than that, he didn’t play terrible, but he didn’t help the cause either. He completed 30-of-45 passes for 303 yards and two touchdowns. Flacco started off the season with fury, but over the last few weeks, he has been coming back down to earth. Let’s just hope that Joe finds his touch again.
Grade: B-
