At least for one week, the din around the Pittsburgh Steelers and Mike Tomlin can go quiet. The Steelers held on to beat the Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday to take sole possession of the lead in the AFC North. They play again in the final game of the regular season, but in the meantime, the Steelers offense showed signs of life. Aaron Rodgers threw for one touchdown and ran for another and had 284 passing yards. The Steelers finally got some explosive plays, too. Rodgers had deep passes that went for 52, 41, 31 and 28 yards. There’s still plenty to clean up — the run defense got gashed again, this time for 217 yards, and the rushing offense was non-existent — but a win is a win and the Steelers needed this one badly.
