PITTSBURGH, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- Jeff Reed's 46-yard field goal in overtime gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 23-20 victory over Baltimore Monday night.

The Steelers (3-1) had come back from a 13-3 halftime deficit to go up 20-13 before the Ravens (2-1-1) tied it on a 2-yard run by Le'Ron McClain with just over four minutes left in regulation.

After Reed and Baltimore kicker Matt Stover traded field goals in the first quarter, the Ravens went up 13-3 on another Stover field goal and a 4-yard pass from Joe Flacco to Daniel Wilcox.

The Steelers stormed back in the third quarter, scoring on a 38-yard pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Santonio Holmes, and then scoring 15 seconds later on a 7-yard fumble return by LaMarr Woodley.

Roethlisberger was 14-of-24 passing for 191 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Holmes caught three passes for 61 yards and the TD, and Hines Ward had two catches for 57 yards.

Rashard Mendenhall, who gained 30 yards on nine carries, left the game in the second half with what turned out to be a fractured left shoulder. He will be put on the DL, the Steelers said.

Flacco was 16-of-31 for 192 yards and a touchdown. McClain picked up 63 yards on 16 carries for Baltimore, while Derrick Mason caught eight passes for 137 yards.
