00:00What did you think of the Steeler-Commander game and what do you think of their game Sunday

00:07that I know you're going to, I'm going to against the Ravens, their first divisional

00:11game and they've won seven of eight against Baltimore and this game at one o'clock is

00:16for the world.

00:20They played very well on Sunday.

00:23I shouldn't say that.

00:25I mean, what I should say is that they won without playing very well.

00:30That's the key message to take away from Sunday.

00:32They did some good things.

00:33Obviously, you don't beat a team as high level as Washington is unless you do some really

00:39good things, but they made some significant mistakes.

00:42The fake punt on their own 16-yard line was a significant.

00:47They've tried to pass it off and spin it in various ways, but it was a mistake.

00:53They had that great look with their gunner not being covered, but you don't do that at

00:59that stage in that spot of the field.

01:02They made some other errors.

01:05Their defense in the late first half, early second half was not tight enough, but they

01:10were still able to put together a winning performance and that's what makes this team

01:15exceptional.

01:16Look, they're not a talented team in the league, but they have a lot of good qualities.

01:22They have a lot of good players in the right positions.

01:25They're getting three games, excellent quarterback play from Russell Wilson.

01:30Again, not wall-to-wall consistently awesome, but hey, Patrick Holmes isn't doing that right

01:36now either, but he's winning every time out.

01:39As for Sunday, it's going to be a great challenge for the Steelers.

01:43Baltimore has a lot of assets on their offense.

01:47Lamar Jackson's a wizard.

01:49That's my favorite way to characterize his play.

01:53He's a wizard.

01:54He does things that no one else has ever been able to do with his ability to move around

01:59and then how that creates open receivers.

02:02The Steelers have had great success against him in the limited opportunities that they've

02:06had to play him.

02:07How's this?

02:08I mean, he's been in the league since 2018.

02:09They played twice a year since then.

02:11Now, his first year, they weren't playing him quite yet when the Steelers played him,

02:15but since 2019, they've only played him four times.

02:19He's either been injured or rested in all the other games, but he's only beaten them

02:24once, which I think says a lot about how patient and careful they are about dealing with him.
