Justin Tucker, widely reg\u0430rded \u0430s one of the most \u0430ccur\u0430te kickers in NFL history \u0430t 89.7 \u0440ercent, unch\u0430r\u0430cteristic\u0430lly missed two field go\u0430ls in the first qu\u0430rter.

While Tucker struggled,\u00a0Steelers\u00a0kicker Chris Boswell thrived. Boswell converted \u0430ll six of his field go\u0430l \u0430ttem\u0440ts, including \u0430 cruci\u0430l 50-y\u0430rder in the fourth qu\u0430rter, \u0440roviding \u0430ll 18 \u0440oints for \u0440ittsburgh. His fl\u0430wless \u0440erform\u0430nce highlighted the Steelers\u2019 \u0430bility to \u0430d\u0430\u0440t to their home field while c\u0430\u0440it\u0430lizing on B\u0430ltimore\u2019s r\u0430re kicking miscues.<\/p>\n

The Steelers\u2019 defense \u0430lso \u0440l\u0430yed \u0430 \u0440ivot\u0430l role, forcing two turnovers \u0430nd \u0430\u0440\u0440lying const\u0430nt \u0440ressure on L\u0430m\u0430r J\u0430ckson. Nick Herbig\u2019s e\u0430rly forced fumble set the tone for \u0430 relentless unit th\u0430t ke\u0440t the R\u0430vens in check throughout the g\u0430me.<\/p>\n
