Considering how dominant the Baltimore Ravens have been in the first half, the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers only trail 13-7 at halftime is remarkable. Here are three big takeaways from the first half.

You hate to see Kenny Pickett go out with a concussion but Mitch Trubisky is highly motivated and came in slinging the football. Trubisky threw a pair of interceptions, one of which was not his fault but he could be the spark the offense needs.

At some point, we have to wonder how a defense with so much talent and such a massive chunk of the team payroll can’t defend the run better. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada takes a ton of heat but defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is doing less with far more.

For all the problems the Steelers have, they go into the half only trailing six points and will get the football. Halftime adjustments on both sides of the football will be key.
