The Pittsburgh Steelers faced a tough defeat against the Baltimore Ravens, with a final score of 34-17. Despite the loss, kicker Chris Boswell showcased his talent, making a 51-yard field goal just before halftime. This achievement marked his 39th field goal of the season, moving him up the ranks in NFL history.
Boswell is now tied for the fourth-most field goals in a single season. He shares this position with notable kickers, including Robbie Gould and Jeff Wilkins. He is just one field goal away from tying Daniel Carlson and Neil Rackers for second place. The current NFL record, held by David Akers, stands at 44 field goals made in a single season.
Boswell’s performance has already set records for the Steelers, solidifying his place as the franchise’s all-time leader in single-season field goals. He has excelled throughout this season, contributing significantly to the team’s scoring efforts.
In a concerning incident during the game, Ravens running back Justice Hill suffered a frightening injury. After a tackle from Steelers safety Damontae Kazee, Hill briefly appeared unconscious before recovering enough to leave the field with assistance. The Ravens quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game due to a concussion.
Coach John Harbaugh provided limited updates on Hill’s condition. With the Ravens facing a short week ahead, his participation in the upcoming game against the Houston Texans remains uncertain.
The Steelers will be looking to regroup as they approach the critical final stretch of the season. Boswell’s continued success will be vital for the team as they seek to improve their performance moving forward.
