THE READ
Ravens run away with it, 43-10

Baltimore put it on Pittsburgh 43-10 in a game that looked settled early. Lamar Jackson went 30 of 47 for 587 yards and 6 touchdowns while Duce Robinson hauled in 11 catches for 253 yards and 2 scores, and neither had to work especially hard—the Ravens put up 587 total yards to Pittsburgh's 128 and never needed to hand the ball off once. The Steelers managed 88 passing yards and 40 on the ground, and the 33-point margin is the kind of afternoon that tends to get people talking about whether this thing can be fixed.

Ravens +9.4 -0.0 +9.4 -1
Steelers -11.8 -1.3 -10.5 -5
SRS is how many points a side beats an average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20. SOS is how hard that schedule has been. Full table.

IN THE BOOTH
Elise Carter The insider
Lamar Jackson threw 6 touchdowns and 587 yards on a Pittsburgh defense that managed 40 rushing yards all game—at 1-4, the Steelers didn't have an answer for anything Baltimore wanted to do.
Luca Santana Analyst · replying
Baltimore's numbers this season—a scoring margin that adjusts for competition at plus-16, a win probability model showing 73% expected wins—say this wasn't an upset; it was a team playing exactly to its level against one that's been historically bad on defense. Pittsburgh has given up 16 points per game more than league average strength-of-schedule accounts for, and it showed.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers — none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that did not happen.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
