""We knew not to pay attention to any outside noise," said wide receiver DK Metcalf, who had a season-high 148 yards on seven receptions (12 targets). "Coach T is a great leader for us, and he's done nothing but take the bullets for us. Even when we're high and when we're low, he's always come in every day, has been steady and stayed the same, always motivated us to always play our best ball and that's what he did last week. "We knew what was at stake -- first place in this heated rivalry, and yeah, the better team came on top.""
""Means maybe you guys would shut the hell up for a week," the 42-year-old said with a smirk."
Pittsburgh defeated Baltimore 27-22 in Baltimore, relieving pressure on coach Mike Tomlin after fans had chanted for his firing a week earlier. Tomlin blew a kiss to the camera as he walked off the field. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 23 of 34 passes for 284 yards with a passing touchdown and a rushing score. Wide receiver DK Metcalf had a season-high 148 yards on seven receptions. Players said they ignored outside noise and focused on the rivalry's stakes. The victory substantially improved Pittsburgh's playoff outlook; the team entered the game with about a 32% chance overall and a 63.1% conditional chance if they beat the Ravens.
