NFL Football News :: Pittsburgh Steelers win AFC North with 13-9 victory over Baltimore

Posted on 2008-12-14 by Gooner

The Pittsburgh Steelers are AFC North champions and earned a first-round bye by beating Baltimore 13-9 Sunday.

Santonio Holmes caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger with 43 seconds left, to give the Steelers the 13-9 lead, the first Pittsburgh lead of the game.

A duel between the top two defenses in the NFL, Pittsburgh did not permit a touchdown in earning its first win in Baltimore since 2002.

Pittsburgh (11-3) limited the Ravens (9-5) to a season-low 202 yards. The Steelers have gone 14 straight games without yielding 300 yards, tying the 1973 Los Angeles Rams for the longest streak to start a season since the NFL merger in 1970.
