Alabama Crimson Tide

Ravens-Steelers Outshines Bama-LSU In A Big Football Weekend [1]

Pittsburgh-Baltimore was everything that Alabama-LSU could have been: A bruising matchup of defensive titans, yes, but a game that also included some truly clutch offensive heroics, grace under pressure and competent special teams play.
