Observed and heard in the locker room after the Baltimore Ravens' 30-17 win at the Pittsburgh Steelers: Catching the one that mattered: Ravens coach John Harbaugh referred to Terrell Suggs' fourth-quarter interception -- the one he caught between his legs -- as "the greatest catch in the history of football." Harbaugh rewarded Suggs with the game ball and tossed it to him in the locker room. What did Suggs do? He dropped it. Sending them home early: Wide receiver Steve Smith talked about how you see the Terrible Towels on television and you grow up wanting to play in an atmosphere like this one. "To be in it, it was pretty cool," Smith said. "It was also cooler to silence them and see them enter their cars pretty early, too. That was the best part." Fans at Heinz Field started heading to the gates after Joe Flacco's 21-yard touchdown pass made it 30-15 with about eight minutes left in the game. Special win: Suggs has won a lot of playoff games, but he acknowledged this one was special. It's the first time he's beaten the Steelers in the postseason. "Whenever my time is done on the field, they could say I never beat the Steelers in the playoffs. They can't say that now," said Suggs, who was previously 0-2 against Pittsburgh in the postseason. "It was a great achievement, but it's short-lived. We're going to enjoy the plane right home. But we all know who we're dealing with next." That would be another postseason trip to New England.
