The question is how will the Steelers stop the Ravens?
Baltimore rushed for over 200 yards in the first meeting, and J.K. Dobbins seems to be hitting his stride late in the year. Lamar Jackson won’t be a factor, though, as he’s going remain inactive after suffering a PCL sprain back at the beginning of December in a win over the Broncos.
Pittsburgh’s defense has T.J. Watt back, which has been a huge upgrade over what the Steelers have been dealing with for most of the season but they’ve managed to hang around enough to remain in the playoff hunt in Week 17.
How many prime time games do the Baltimore Ravens have this year?
