Overview

  • The NFL set Baltimore at Pittsburgh for Sunday, Jan. 4 at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC as the regular season’s final game.
  • The winner claims the AFC North and the No. 4 seed with a home Wild Card game, and the loser is eliminated.
  • Ravens coach John Harbaugh says Lamar Jackson’s back status is “to be determined,” with one report pegging his chances to play as slightly below 50-50.
  • Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt remains uncertain as he recovers from lung surgery, and the Steelers will be without suspended wide receiver DK Metcalf.
  • Baltimore stayed alive by beating Green Bay 41-24 without Jackson behind Derrick Henry’s 216 rushing yards and four touchdowns, while Pittsburgh fell 13-6 at Cleveland and earlier edged Baltimore 27-22 on Dec. 7.
