Game of the Week: Ravens at Steelers

While Pittsburgh is likely going to take a step back this year after the mass exodus we saw in free agency, the Steelers and Ravens are always going to battle both on the field and in the standings.

Baltimore has reached the playoffs each of the past three seasons but only has one playoff win to show for it. Lamar Jackson and Co. have been able to cruise through the regular season, winning two of the past three AFC North crowns. However, it means little as Jackson, entering his fourth year in Charm City, tries to lead a deep run into and through January.

As for Pittsburgh, Ben. Roethlisberger heads for what is likely his last year with the Black and Gold. The Steelers could be looking to move forward after 2021, and although Pittsburgh lost key pieces on offense including left tackle Alejandro Villanueva and running back James Conner, the Steelers should still threaten for a playoff spot as the weather turns foul.
