How to watch Steelers vs. Ravens with and without cable: Full Wild Card streaming guide
The NFL regular season is over and the playoff bracket is officially set. The Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions earned first-round byes, while the remaining 12 teams to make the playoffs will play in the Wild Card Round.
Of all six games to be played, none offer more intrigue than the matchup featuring the No. 6-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers and the No. 3-seeded Baltimore Ravens. These AFC North arch-rivals will battle it out at M&T Bank Stadium on the playoff stage for the right to advance to the Divisional Round.
On paper, the Ravens would seemingly have a fairly sizeable advantage. They have a much better quarterback, home-field advantage, and have played better lately. However, Lamar Jackson has gone just 3-5 against the Steelers in his career, and has mostly struggled against Pittsburgh's elite defense. Jackson's play in the playoffs has also left a lot to be desired relative to the superstar he's always been in the regular season.
With these factors in mind, it's anyone's guess as to who will actually come out on top in this game. The Ravens should be favored, but it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Pittsburgh win an ugly one against their rivals. We've already seen that play out once this season.
An argument can be made that none of the six Wild Card Round matchups offer more intrigue than this one. It truly feels as if this game is must-see TV, which is probably why it got the prime-time slot on Saturday night.
With all of that being said, here's how the game can be viewed from the comfort of your own home.
