5 things you must know about the Steelers Week 8 matchup vs Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for their Week 8 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to play the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 and I could not be more excited for this match up. I can’t remember the last time both the Steelers and Ravens were top 5 teams in the NFL while being two of the favorites to be in the AFC Championship Game. The AFC has become a four-headed monster in the Chiefs, Ravens, Steelers, and the Titans and we have already seen Pittsburgh beat the Titans this season.

This game has massive playoff implications. Not only to win the division, but this game could possibly be the deciding factor for the number 1 seed in the playoffs. That is how good both of these teams are. Furthermore, the Steelers and Ravens always seem to put out great, physical, and close games. Their first matchup in 2019 went into overtime and that was in a game featuring both Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges at quarterback.

One of the bigger storylines coming into this game is the fact that it is the first time both Ben Roethlisberger and Lamar Jackson will be starting and considering that they are the two top teams in their division it is somewhat interesting that it is the first time both franchise quarterbacks are facing each other.

There are a lot of matchups in this game that I am incredibly excited for and it is going to be a bit of a problem narrowing it down to 5. Without further ado, here are five things that all fans should know about this Week 8 matchup between the Steelers and the Ravens:
