BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The Pittsburgh Steelers overcame the absence of Ben Roethlisberger to stun the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 on Sunday and keep alive their once-unthinkable hopes of an AFC North Division title.

Shaun Suisham kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired, enabling the Steelers to snap a two-game losing streak and halt Baltimore's 15-game regular season winning streak at home.

The Steelers, behind veteran back-up quarterback Charlie Batch, drove 61 yards over the final 6:14 to set up Suisham's field goal, his third of the game.

Baltimore (9-3) had hoped to secure a playoff spot with a win and remain in the hunt for the best record in the conference but now leads Pittsburgh (7-5) by just two games in the AFC North.

The Steelers had stumbled badly since Roethlisberger, a two-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, was sent to the sidelines with rib and shoulder injuries. He has missed three straight games and Pittsburgh's offense has suffered.
