In anticipation of Sunday's matchup, here is a look at the top-three moments between the Ravens and Steelers in recent history.
No. 3: Joe Flacco To Torrey Smith Game-Winning Touchdown, 2011
Prime-Time, Sunday Night Football, in Pittsburgh. Trailing the Steelers 20-16 with just 14 seconds left in the game, Joe Flacco dropped back and hit Torrey Smith in the corner of the end zone for what proved to be the game-winning touchdown. The Ravens went onto defeated the Steelers 23-20 to move to 6-2 on the year. Baltimore would win the AFC North Division Title that year.
No. 2: Justin Tucker Drills 52-Yard Game-Winning Field Goal In Over Time, 2015
What initially appeared to be a runaway victory for the Steelers turned into a Ravens win. Baltimore trailed Pittsburgh 20-7 midway through the third quarter. However, the Ravens were able to mount a comeback in large part to kicker Justin Tucker. Tucker knocked through two field goals in the fourth quarter to tie the game 20-20. In over time, Tucker won it with a 52-yard field goal. The win was the Ravens first of the 2015 season after they dropped their first three games to open up the year.
No. 1: Ravens Edge Steelers 22-20 On Thanksgiving Night, 2013
This game was full of crazy moments... including when Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin appeared to interfere on a kickoff return. Jacoby Jones was running down the sideline and headed for the end zone when Tomlin appeared to step out on the field -- ever so slightly -- just enough to bump Jones and slow him down. Jones was eventually tackled and kept out of the end zone. The Ravens, however, saw a strong performance from Flacco and came out with a 22-20 victory.
Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. from Heinz Field. You can catch the game right here on WJZ.
