Not many things were finally settled after the first of two – and perhaps the first of three games – this season between the Steelers and Ravens. Well, upon closer examination, one thing was definitely decided: the best kicker in the AFC North plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and for the second time this season, his right leg was responsible for all of his team’s points in a win.

Boswell has now converted 29 of 30 on the season (96.7 percent) and 9 of 10 (90 percent) from 50 yards and longer. For the second time this season, Boswell is the Steelers Digest Player of the week.
