Benny Snell ran all over Marcus Peters in the Steelers’ win on Wednesday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers‘ win over the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday to remain undefeated was hardly pretty, but Benny Snell running all over cornerback Marcus Peters sure was.

With the Black and Yellow in possession of the ball late in the fourth quarter and the Steelers needing to burn time, they handed the ball off to Snell on a 1st and 10 with just over two minutes left and the Ravens out of timeouts.

The play only went for seven yards, but it provided one of the best highlights of the game as he absolutely trucked Peters on the play:

Benny Snell threw Marcus Peters down to help finish off the Ravens

It was a beautiful piece of running from Snell, who was filling in for James Conner after he was placed on the COVID-19/reserve list. Though Snell only finished with 60 yards on 16 carries, it was a pass-heavy day from Pittsburgh, and he filled in nicely for Conner, wisely staying in bounds after trucking Peters on this play to help bleed precious seconds off the clock.

From dropped catches to bizarre penalties, the Steelers committed a ton of mental errors in this game that helped Baltimore make it close late, but they ultimately pulled out the ugly win to remain perfect at 11-0.

They’ll have work to do if they wind up meeting the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, but for now, Snell’s beautiful use of his off arm is the highlight of the hour.
