The offense was mediocre as best, and the defense was horrific, but the special teams actually performed pretty well in this game.

It starts with Jacoby Jones and the return game. Jones recorded his first kick return for a touchdown this season. It was a 108-yard return in the fourth quarter that cut the Steelers’ lead to 12 and gave the Ravens slim hope at the time. Jones might just have saved his job with that play.

Justin Tucker attempted just one field goal, and it was a 46-yarder that he nailed right down the middle. Sam Koch booted six punts, pinning the Steelers inside the 20 on five of them.

Grade: A
