boswell kicks 6 field goals and the steelers bottle up lamar jackson in 1816 win over the ravens

Chris Boswell tied a franchise record with six field goals and the Pittsburgh Steelers limited Lamar Jackson and the NFL's top-ranked offense in an 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.

The Steelers 8-2 won their fifth straight behind Boswell and a defense that never let Jackson, Derrick Henry or the rest of the offense get into a rhythm, opening up a little breathing room atop the AFC North.

Baltimore 7-4 was held to season lows in points and yards 329 while committing 12 penalties and turning the ball over three times - each miscue leading to a Boswell field goal - as Pittsburgh won for the seventh time in its last eight meetings in a rivalry that remains as chippy as ever.

Jackson completed just 16 of 33 for 207 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He hit Zay Flowers for a 16-yard score with 106 left to get the Ravens within two but the 2-point conversion attempt was a mess. Jackson rolled to his left, tried to run then pulled up and threw a prayer to no one in particular that fell incomplete.

The Steelers - with backup quarterback Justin Fields subbing in for Russell Wilson on a couple of snaps - picked up a first down on the ensuing drive as Pittsburgh ran out the clock to drop Jackson's record to 1-4 against his team's biggest rival.
