(AP) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers clinched another AFC North division title Sunday with a typical hard-fought win against the Ravens.
The Steelers won 13-9 as Ben Roethlisberger marched the Steelers 92 yards on 13 plays, capping the drive with a four-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 43 seconds left.
The officials originally ruled that the ball did not cross the plane of the goal on Holmes' catch, but after a video replay, it was changed to a touchdown.
Pittsburgh improves to 11-and-3 after its first win in Baltimore since 2002. The Ravens are still in the wild card hunt at 9-and-5.
The Steelers are on track to secure home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs because the Titans lost in Houston 13-12. If Pittsburgh wins in Nashville next week and then again at home the final week against Cleveland, it gets the top seed.
