This Sunday, the veteran back up QB Charlie Batch may have played the last game of his NFL career. But if that is true, he left on a good note. He completed 25 out of his 36 pass attempts, and threw for 276 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Batch won his 6th start out of nine in his 11 year career with Pittsburgh. The Steelers were down the majority of the game, and came back from down 7 points in the fourth quarter. Batch turns 38 this Wednesday, and has been with the team longer than most players among currently active ones. A third-string quarterback, he could have just possibly saved the Steelers's playoff chances. The Steelers came back in the fourth quarter for the win. Linebacker James Harrison sacked Ravens' QB Joe Flacco, and forced him to fumble. Batch then completed all of his passes on the game-tying drive. Batch then connected to tight end Heath Miller around the 7 minute mark, where he had to dive and barely touched the pylon before going out of bounds. But he tied the score at 20-20, and Shaun Suisum kicked the game winning 42 yard field goal, and Pittsburgh won 23-20, in Baltimore.
