Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on Jan. 4 on NBC at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh.
  • The winner clinches the AFC North, the No. 4 seed and a home playoff game, and the loser is eliminated.
  • Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is questionable with a back injury, with one report calling his chances a shade under 50-50, and Steelers star T.J. Watt’s availability remains uncertain.
  • Baltimore stayed alive by routing the Packers 41-24 behind Derrick Henry’s 216 yards and four touchdowns, after Cleveland beat Pittsburgh 13-6.
  • Sportsbooks opened Baltimore as a field-goal road favorite, and the NFL also slotted Panthers–Buccaneers and Seahawks–49ers into national Saturday windows.
