Overview
- Pittsburgh enters at 9-7 with a one-game lead over 8-8 Baltimore and cannot reach the postseason via a wild card.
- A Steelers win clinches the division, and a tie would also keep them on top; a Ravens win gives Baltimore the North on division-record tiebreakers.
- Four-time All-Pro edge rusher T.J. Watt has been cleared to play after surgery for a partially collapsed lung, bolstering Pittsburgh’s defense.
- The division winner will host the No. 5 seed, with NFL.com projections listing the Texans as the most likely opponent.
- Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock, and the Wild Card opponent will be set before the game begins.
