How to ensure you do not miss a moment of this AFC North playoff showdown
The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in Baltimore Saturday for yet another matchup with the Ravens. After splitting the matchup series in the regular season, the two will break the tie with a rematch in the Wild Card Round with hopes of a trip to Super Bowl LIX on the line.
After the Steelers were trounced by the Ravens 34-17 in Week 16 and capping the year with a four-game losing streak, it’s no surprise that Pittsburgh is considered a massive 9.5-point underdog in this fight. Baltimore has been red hot in that span, too, going 4-0 since the bye week… albeit against less-than-stellar completion. Those wins, though dominant, came against the New York Giants, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns and, of course, Pittsburgh Steelers — not exactly the pinnacle of elite competition.
Though the momentum is in the Ravens’ favor at this point, the Steelers do enter this game a fair bit healthier than they were in their last meeting in Week 16. In that matchup, the Steelers were without four starters, including star WR George Pickens, CB Donte Jackson, S DeShon Elliott and DT Larry Ogunjobi. The availability of these starters in the Wild Card could be a difference maker as Pittsburgh seeks its first playoff win since the 2016 season.
Here’s how to tune in and watch the Steelers-Ravens Wild Card showdown.
