Big time players make big time plays. Down 10-6 against the Ravens with a little over 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, Troy Polamalu comes flying in untouched on the safety blitz and karate chops an unsuspecting Joe Flacco as he's getting ready to throw the ball down field. Fumble, Steelers recover, Pittsburgh ball inside the Baltimore 10. Three plays later, Roethlisberger hits Isaac Redman on a 9 yard touchdown pass, and that right there ends up being the difference in the ballgame. The win puts the Steelers in first place in the AFC North, one game ahead of the Ravens with three games to play.
Polamalu's Game Saving Play
Equally notable, in the battle of defensive stars with ridiculous commercials, Polamalu gets the edge over Ray Lewis. 13 tackles, 12 solo for Lewis, Polamalu only 5 tackles, 4 solo, but the huge sack fumble that turned the game.
Ray Lewis for Old Spice
Troy Polamalu for Head & Shoulders
