For only the second time in the long storied history of the franchise, the Pittsburgh Steelers are 7-0.
That’s because they were able to go into Baltimore on Sunday and walk out with a 28-24 victory over their biggest rival.
As has become pretty standard procedure, Chase Claypool was making plays again for Pittsburgh, this time pulling in the game winning touchdown reception about midway through the fourth quarter.

Stack set. Smash concept (flat-corner) vs. 2-deep coverage.
Watch Roethlisberger “pump” to the flat. Targeting the aggressive coverage traits of Peters. Opens the window for Claypool.@NFLMatchup #Steelers #Ravens pic.twitter.com/JrH871YrhO
Claypool finished the day with five receptions for 42 yards and that score.
The rookie from Notre Dame now has 23 receptions for 375 yards and five touchdown receptions while rushing for two more this year.
He’s also never lost a game in his NFL career.
Losing? Never heard of her.

Claypool and the 7-0 Steelers return to action next week when they travel to take on the 2-6 Dallas Cowboys.
