Pittsburgh battle back against Baltimore to extend winning streak to seven

The Pittsburgh Steelers rallied to come from behind and defeat the Baltimore Ravens 28-24 to extend their winning NFL run to seven matches.

The Ravens were 17-7 ahead at half-time, but Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger helped the visitors pick up 21 points in the second half with his touchdown pass to Chase Claypool proving decisive.

Late in the match, Steelers defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs made a telling block to frustrate Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on fourth-and-three as Pittsburgh moved 7-0 at the top of the AFC North.

The Ravens, meanwhile, saw left tackle Ronnie Stanley taken off the field during the first quarter with an ankle injury which is now set to rule him out for the rest of the season.

The Buffalo Bills edged out the New England Patriots 24-21 after a late fumble by Cam Newton was recovered.

Patriots quarterback Newton had been looking to push for what could have been a crucial score with just 31 seconds left at Orchard Park, but it was the Bills who saw out the clock to go 6-2 at the top of AFC East.

Miami Dolphins rookie Tua Tagovailoa marked his first career start with a touchdown pass in the 28-17 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

The third straight victory moved the Dolphins to 4-3, two wins behind Buffalo.

Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey missed the match with illness, but tests confirmed it was not Covid-19 related.

Rookie quarterback Joe Burrow helped the Cincinnati Bengals pull off a 31-20 victory over AFC South hopefuls the Tennessee Titans at a windy Paul Brown Stadium.
