They need to improve in time of possession.
They need to control the clock.
What allows the defense to play better because they're more rested, allows them to dictate what's going to happen in the game.
And so really the reality is that they, in the second half, won the town possession 21 minutes to nine minutes.
That's huge.
In a game like this, to be able to keep the Ravens offense off the field for 21 minutes of the game.
No, but in that third quarter, though, Pomp, right, they had that three and out, but they had that batted ball by Cam Hayward and interception by T.J.
Watt.
And really, they came out in the second half.
And I always say this on the postgame show with you, Pom, that the most important drives are the starting drive in the first quarter and the starting drive in the third quarter.
And the Ravens came out, and they drove the ball down the field and scored in that first quarter and really didn't have a touchdown until, I believe, until the fourth quarter.
But the Steelers came out at the start of the third and went 10 plays down the field.
And scored.
And 10 to 12.
And I held them to control the clock, time possession, converted some big third downs.
And that put them on their heels and tied the ball game up.
And then they got an interception right after that.
And then went down there and they scored a field goal.
And so they were up 13-10 before Ravens could really even blink.
No.
