One of the top matchups in Week 11 of the NFL season was between the Baltimore Ravens facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC North Rivalry game. The game was equally important for both squads as the winner would be the outright leader in the division.

After the first quarter, the Ravens trailed the Steelers 3-0. But it wasn't like they didn't have their opportunities to get on the board. They got into the red zone twice. But the struggles of the kicker Justin Tucker continued as he went 0-2 on chip shot field goal attempts.
Fans on social media were concerned that the days of Tucker being an automatic field goal kicker could be a thing of the past.
"Passed his prime and should've retired last season," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"The worst kicker in the NFL," another fan added.
Media Pundit Declares Ravens Derrick Henry OPOY Front-Runner
The Ravens have no doubt been impressive during this recent string of wins. And it is not just that the Ravens are winning — they are DOMINATING.
That has been in large part to free agent acquisition Derrick Henry who is having one of the best seasons of his career. To this point, Henry has 11 touchdowns and over 1000 rushing yards with eight games remaining on the schedule. Bill Barnett of ESPN believes that Henry should be the front-runner for the NFL's Offensive Player of The Year award.
"The now 30-year-old back is producing a historically significant campaign. Through nine games, Henry has 1,052 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns," Barnell writes.
"The only other backs to top the round numbers of 1,000 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns through the first nine games of the season over the past 40 years are Emmitt Smith in 1995, Terrell Davis in 1998, and Shaun Alexander in 2005. All three won league MVP awards. Henry is on pace for 1,987 rushing yards; if the Ravens want to let him try, there's a realistic chance he'd make a serious run at Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 rushing yards in a single season."
