“Big Ben gonna go out worse than Dumbledore did in Half-Blood Prince.”: NFL Twitter goes crazy as Steelers defeat the Ravens in overtime to advance to playoffs

The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Baltimore Ravens in their week 18 matchup in a match that went to the wire in which Steelers won by a field goal in overtime and almost guaranteeing themselves a playoff spot.

Earlier the Colts had lost to the Jaguars which had opened the gates for the Steelers to win their match and qualify for the playoffs which they did and now they just hope that the game between the Chargers and Raiders doesn’t end in a tie.

Steelers are in the playoffs as long as tonight’s chargers-raiders game doesn’t end in a tie.

This will be a fantastic achievement for the Pittsburgh team who struggled in the season and despite of all that are now going to the playoffs in what might be the last season for Big Ben.

Pittsburgh came from behind to beat the Ravens which can be considered as one of the best victories by the team in the past few years following their Super Bowl success in 2009.

Big Ben played a good game and led the game-winning drive for the field goal to win the match in which he threw for 244 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception while having a passing rating of 80.1

In possibly his final regular season game, Big Ben…

Converted a 4th and 8 in OT ✔️

Not a Steelers fan but I have to admit I’m impressed. This roster was not a playoff roster at all. Congrats!

Chiefs sending Big Ben into retirement actually sounds great. https://t.co/MeyAbLEw6D

The #Raiders and #Chargers are in the playoffs with a tie, thanks to the #Colts loss. Will this change LAC’s approach?

“We’re going to compete as a team to the best of our ability,” coach Brandon Staley texted me.

So, game on.

Pittsburgh will hope that Chargers vs Raiders does not end in a tie and they secure their playoff spot to make the last season of Big Ben a memorable one despite of their earlier struggles.
