Pittsburgh’s star quarterback plans to play despite suffering a concussion last week. With backup Charlie Batch out, the only other signal-caller on the roster will be Dennis Dixon, who has thrown just one NFL pass. The Ravens will no doubt look to test Roethlisberger early and often.
Ben Roethlisberger has beaten the Ravens four consecutive times. … Santonio Holmes has scored a touchdown in five straight games against the Ravens. … Baltimore’s Ray Rice ranks second in the AFC with 1,248 yards from scrimmage. … Ed Reed leads the NFL with 46 interceptions since .
The Steelers were stunned in Kansas City, losing 27-24 in overtime. … The Ravens could not punch it into the end zone and lost to the Colts, 1.

He struggled mightily against Pittsburgh’s pressure defense last year, and if he allows the Steelers to shake him again, it could be a tough day. We will post information about results of this match..
