Overview
- Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. ET at Ford Field on CBS, with streaming options including Paramount+ in markets and NFL+ for out-of-market viewers.
- The Steelers ruled out T.J. Watt (lung), Nick Herbig (hamstring), James Pierre (calf) and Isaac Seumalo (triceps), and long snapper Christian Kuntz has no injury designation.
- With top edge rushers unavailable, rookie Jack Sawyer is set for an expanded role, and Aaron Rodgers enters off two efficient wins with 284 and 224 passing yards.
- Detroit lists safety Kerby Joseph out, and the Lions lean on Aidan Hutchinson’s league-leading pressure totals and Jahmyr Gibbs’ 1,100 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns.
- Oddsmakers have Detroit by seven points; Pittsburgh still controls its AFC North path, while the Lions sit outside the NFC bracket and need wins plus help.
