Ravens hang on to edge Steelers despite Huntley's concussion
The Baltimore Ravens held on to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-14 on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium despite losing quarterback Tyler Huntley midway through the contest.
Huntley entered the concussion protocol after taking a hit and was replaced by rookie undrafted free agent Anthony Brown.
Huntley completed 8 of 12 pass attempts for 88 yards with no touchdowns and rushed for 31 yards before being sidelined. He had started Sunday's contest after Lamar Jackson suffered a PCL injury against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Brown went 3-for-5 passing with 16 yards in his first NFL appearance.
Pittsburgh faced its own quarterback issues Sunday, as rookie passer Kenny Pickett entered the concussion protocol after being sacked on the team's opening drive. He returned for the next possession before being ruled out. Mitch Trubisky passed for 276 yards and one touchdown against three interceptions in place of Pickett.
The Ravens put on a show on the ground Sunday, with J.K. Dobbins rushing for 120 yards and one touchdown on just 15 carries. Gus Edwards carried the ball 13 times for 66 yards, helping Baltimore finish the day with 215 yards and one score on 42 rushing attempts.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh failed to run the ball effectively once again, collecting only 20 attempts for 65 yards and one touchdown.
The Ravens, who've now won their last two games, improved to 9-4 with the win. The Steelers dropped to 5-8.
