"[ Joe Flacco took a major step towards the top tier of NFL quarterbacks by taking control in the Ravens’ 30-7 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week.
And if he can play a similarly-standout game Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Flacco could find himself among that group.
In order for the third-year signal caller to reach elite status, he doesn’t just have to defeat the Steelers. Flacco will have to outshine Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
“This game will really make up people’s minds outside of this building,” said Ravens wideout Derrick Mason. “In here, we know what Joe can do. He’s going to be one of the best quarterbacks in this league as he continues to develop. But, I think Saturday will shape people’s view of Joe.
“If he wins this game, I think he takes the next step into becoming not only one of the best young quarterbacks in this league, but one of the elite quarterbacks, period.”
Flacco opened a lot of eyes on a national scale by completing 25 of 34 passes for 265 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Kansas City, notching his fourth playoff win in six appearances. ]"
