The Ravens scored a touchdown in the final minute of the game to beat the Steelers 17-14.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught the go-ahead 18-yard touchdown pass from Joe Flacco with just 32 seconds remaining in the game.  Baltimore began their four play, 40-yard drive with the gift of field position, courtesy of a punt and a holding penalty by the Steelers.

Up to that point, Pittsburgh led 14-10 despite two missed field goals of 49 and 45 yards by Jeff Reed.  The Steelers took the lead midway through the fourth quarter thanks to a 7-yard touchdown run by Rashard Mendenhall.  Mendenhall also scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter.

Pittsburgh and Baltimore are now tied for first in the AFC North Division.  Both stand at 3-1.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger returns to the team Monday after serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
