Pittsburgh Steelers snatch win
published: Wednesday | October 1, 2008

PITTSBURGH (AP):

JEFF REED'S 46-yard field goal in overtime gave the Pittsburgh a 23-20 win over Baltimore in the NFL on Monday night, as the Steelers overcame a 10-point deficit, numerous injuries and a late Ravens comeback.

Reed's third field goal ended a back-and-forth game in which the Steelers were down by 10 late in the third quarter, rallied but couldn't hold a seven-point lead, then found a way to win despite being without their top three running backs.

Season-ending injuries

Pittsburgh came back to win despite losing two players to season-ending injuries, running back and first-round draft pick Rashard Mendenhall (fractured shoulder) and right guard Kendall Simmons (right Achilles tendon).

The Ravens, losing for the seventh time in their past eight games in Pittsburgh and falling out of the AFC North lead, won the important overtime coin toss but were backed up by two penalties and a sack and had to punt out of the end zone.
