PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers are still not dead.
With Sunday's 23-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, the defending Super Bowl champs still have an outside shot at making the playoffs.
The Steelers need to win next Sunday at Miami, and need to have the Patriots defeat the Texans.
Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall ran for 36 yards and a touchdown and went over 1,000 yards rushing for the season.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who went over 4,000 yards passing with 259 yards against the Ravens, threw a touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes, who joined Hines Ward in the 1,000-yard receiving club.
It's the first time in franchise history that the Steelers have a 4,000-yard passer, two 1,000-yard receivers, and 1,000-yard runner.
Steelers kicker Jeff Reed booted two field goals, including the game-winner from 38 yards in the fourth quarter.
The Ravens were ravaged by penalties and had two touchdowns called back because of penalties.
