Box score?

Often times a look at the box score of a game will tell the story a game, and sometimes it won't. The Steelers vs Ravens AFC Divisional playoff game was a little of both.

389 of total offensive for both teams combined. check
106 yards rushing combined  (only 35 for Baltimore) check
11 sacks
5 turnovers... check, check.

So what was that final score? 10-7? Nope, try again... how about,

31-24

What? How in the hell? Umm, yeah, let's just say that the "over" was the play, who knew.

Of course those turnovers fueled the lion's share of the points. The defenses were beasts even if the scoreboard says they were soft.
