In this episode, I recap the Steelers 19-14 win over the Ravens with Nick Farabaugh (Pittsburgh Sports Now, @FarabaughFB).We talk about how bad the Ravens were due to their depleted roster, why the Steelers looked so bad against the Ravens, if all the drops by the receivers are an anomaly or a trend, how much losing Pouncey affected the offense, how Bennie Snell did in the game, how the loss of Tuitt affected the defense, how much losing Bud Dupree for the season will hurt the defense, how they'll replace him, how Robert Spillane is doing, when Avery Williamson will play more, and if the Steelers can lose to Washington.
