The Baltimore Ravens dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first half of their AFC Wild Card playoff game, leading 21-0 at halftime. The Ravens amassed 308 total yards, including 164 rushing yards, with quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry leading the charge. Jackson completed 13 of 15 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed for 64 yards on 11 carries. Henry had 13 carries for 100 yards and a touchdown, including a 34-yard run featuring a powerful stiff-arm against Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Ravens had 19 first downs in the first half, more than the Steelers' total plays (18), and controlled the time of possession. Baltimore converted 7 of 8 third downs and built their lead through three long scoring drives of 95, 85, and 90 yards—the first being their longest playoff opening drive since 2001. The third touchdown came as Jackson scrambled for over six seconds before finding Justice Hill for a five-yard score. The Steelers, meanwhile, managed only 59 yards and two first downs, continuing their trend of early playoff deficits.
