Did anyone else notice the disappointment in Jim Nantz' voice after the play? It certainly comes through on the YouTube video.

Okay, that was probably the longest TD recap all year.
After the touchdown, the Ravens went back to the ground, and McGahee came through in a big way, running three times and picking up a first down. After a first down penalty, Woodley flies in and disrupts Flacco's pass.
Look at the elevation by Woodley. What an athlete.
The Ravens are able to convert on second and long on a little dump-off to Ray Rice that he turns upfield for big yards. The Ravens get themselves into another third and long on the next set, but Flacco hooks up with Clayton for 15 to keep the drive alive and move into Pittsburgh territory. The Ravens try to go run-run-pass, but Aaron Smith destroys the 3rd down play by pulling Flacco down for the sack. Punt team.
Playing from deep in their own territory, the Steelers came back with their motif offense, giving it to Parker twice before going to the air. Baltimore challenged the third down completion to Nasty Nate, but the completion was upheld, giving Pittsburgh teh first down and taking Baltimore's last challenge away. Parker got two more totes, but a personal foul on Kemoeatu pushed them into third and long, where we ran a safe draw play and punted.
Unfortunately for us, the Lob Wedge made a poor kick and Leonhard was able to split a seam in the coverage and get some open field. Berger makes a touchdown-saving tackle, but the Ravens get great field position.
The Steelers defense comes up big and forces a third and long, but McFadden gets called for a terrible pass interference penalty in the end zone, giving the Ravens new life at the one. McGahee cashes it in to make it a game.

We get the ball back with two-and-a-half minutes left and a timeout, plenty of time to put moer points on the board. A second down completion to Sweed sets up third and manageable, but Ben throws it behind Holmes on a slant route, bringing on the punt team.
The Ravens take over with just under two minutes to go, in a situation that would seem to necessitate running out the clock. They look as though they're going to on first down after a McGahee run, but they go no-huddle and throw on second down. Pressure by Timmons forces an incompletion, stopping the clock and setting up third down. Another incompletion on 3rd down stops the clock again and forces the Ravens to punt. Holmes breaks out a big return to get the ball to the 50, giving the Steelers a shot with a minute to play.
On first down, Ben goes deep for Sweed down the left side. Sweed is wiiiiide open and Ben throws a perfect pass...
...but Sweed forgets how to use his hands.
To make matters worse, Sweed was "injured" on the play, costing the Steelers their final timeout. After two more incompletions, the Steelers have to punt, but Baltimore gets flagged for roughing the kicker, giving the Steelers another gasp of life.
Ben hits Heath down the left side, and he turns it upfield. Sweed peels back and does his best Hines Ward impression, throwing a monster block on Corey Ivy to spring Heath.
