Ben Roethlisberger isn’t on record pace tonight, but he might not need to be.

The Steelers have created a pair of Ravens turnovers, with outside linebacker Jason Worilds just picking off Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco.

The best part for them is both were followed by immediate touchdowns, giving them a 14-7 lead in the second quarter.

Roethlisberger immediately made them pay, hitting Martavis Bryant for a 19-yard touchdown.

They tied the game at 7 after collecting a fumble by Ravens running back Lorenzo Taliaferro, with Le’Veon Bell catching the first touchdown.

It’s been a physical game, as you might imagine, but the Steelers have taken a few shots from the Ravens and responded with a few of their own.
