Steelers 2021 schedule: 3 games fans must circle on their calendar

Week 18: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens

This is always must-watch football for any NFL fan. These two teams have a giant rivalry that normally determines which team wins the AFC North division. The Steelers won both games against the Baltimore Ravens last season but the team in purple did reprehensible damage. The scheduling issue because of Covid-19 implications caused this game to continuously get pushed back time and time again. Eventually, the two teams played each other with the Ravens suiting up a majority of their backups.

The product was not pretty on the field as both teams seemed severely unprepared even though the home team squeaked out a close victory. The damage was done though as the black and gold could never recover from the last game against these two.

Once this game ended, the Steelers seemed to lose their mojo entirely. They could not sustain an offensive attack and other teams played better than Pittsburgh. The team would go on to only winning one game for the rest of the season and that includes their playoff game. It was an unusual set of circumstances that seemed to make the Steelers falter when the time to rise to the occasion was called upon. These two games will be huge as they always are for both teams. It might decide who wins the division or make the playoffs when it comes that time of year.

The Steelers have a tough schedule heading into the season so it will be an uphill battle to repeat last year’s regular-season success. They have a  talented team and should make the playoffs yet again.
