"We don't control our own destiny now,Wholesale Jerseys US, so we have to go out there and get a win the next time out," Baltimore wide receiver Torrey Smith said. "We need one and have to get it."

"Everybody has to wait for their opportunity,Cheap Jerseys From China," Bryant said. "It's just when the opportunity presents itself whether you take advantage of it or not."
Roethlisberger set an NFL record for touchdown passes in consecutive games, hanging six more on the Ravens in a testy but surprisingly easy 43-23 victory Sunday night.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH: Yes, that really was Harrison sacking Flacco twice and spending most of the game in the Baltimore backfield. Heady territory for a guy that was retired two months ago.

Roethlisberger's numbers weren't the only thing eye-popping as Pittsburgh topped 30 points for a third straight game for only the fourth time in franchise history. Some other takeaways in a rare blowout in a series where dramatic finishes are the norm:
Joe Flacco passed for 303 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, but was sacked four times as the Ravens were undone by a sloppy second quarter. A fumble by Lorenzo Taliaferro and an ill-advised throw by Flacco helped start a 22-point Pittsburgh run to end the first half.
"He talked about Steeler football, coming in and whipping somebody's butt,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," Pittsburgh cornerback Brice McCain said.
Antonio Brown caught 10 passes for 138 yards and a score. Rookie Martavis Bryant hauled in two scoring receptions and has five touchdowns in three games after spending the first six weeks of the season on the inactive list.
Roethlisberger broke the record for touchdown passes in consecutive games of 11 set by Tom Flores for Oakland in the AFL in 1963 and matched by New England's Tom Brady in 2007.
Baltimore (5-4) didn't really come close.
"We set them up with two scoring situations," Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. "When you put guys in that part of the field, they are going to have a chance to make some big plays."

ROUGHING IT: The teams combined for 17 penalties for 175 yards, including a handful of personal fouls.

Having Ben Roethlisberger throw six touchdown passes was not among them. The Pittsburgh quarterback put up half-a-dozen scores the week before against Indianapolis. No way he was going to do it again,NFL Jerseys Outlet, right? That never happens.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A lot of scenarios ran through Terrell Suggs' head when the Baltimore linebacker prepared to face the Pittsburgh Steelers.
