The Pittsburgh Steelers are desperate for a win against the Baltimore Ravens and will need some help in Week 17. Here’s how to catch the game.
It’s going to be a nerve-wracking weekend for diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fans everywhere. Mike Tomlin’s team was recently flexed to play on Sunday Night Football against the Ravens as opposed to their original afternoon slate. However, we are hoping there is still something to root for at that point.
The Steelers must have both the Dolphins and Jets lose earlier in the day to keep their playoff hopes alive. A win from either team will essentially have Pittsburgh eliminated from playoff contention before they even take the field at Baltimore under the lights.
If Miami loses to New England and New York loses to Seattle, look out! Pittsburgh will have a real shot at getting into the tournament. Here’s how to watch Steelers vs Ravens in Week 17.

Steelers vs Ravens Kickoff Time and Location
Pittsburgh will kick off action against the Baltimore Ravens on January 1st at 8:20 p.m. Eastern Time in Baltimore at M&T Bank Stadium. It’s very possible that Tomlin’s team could be eliminated from playoff contention before the first play of this game, so the outcomes around the league during the earlier slate are important.
Steelers vs Ravens Predictions
The Steelers seem to have found new life since the bye week, and it’s not all that surprising. This young offense seems to be meshing a bit better with each start from rookie QB Kenny Pickett, while Mike Tomlin is looking to avoid having a losing season for the first time since becoming head coach in 2007.
Meanwhile, the Ravens have been missing QB Lamar Jackson since he injured his knee early in Week 13 against the Broncos, and there is no reason for him to play this week either. At 10-5, Baltimore has clinched a playoff berth. Though they can still earn the division title in the AFC North if Cincinnati falls apart over the final two games, it’s not worth inserting their ailing QB if he’s not ready to go.
Baltimore would like nothing more than to put Pittsburgh out of their misery this week, but the Steelers could have much more to play for. We have Tomlin energizing his team to a 20-17 win in primetime over the Ravens.
Steelers vs Ravens History
Pittsburgh has gotten the best of Baltimore in their head-to-head matchups more often than not, as the Steelers are 32-25 all-time against the Ravens, via The Football Database. Though they lost to Baltimore just a few weeks back, Kenny Pickett was injured early and Mitch Trubisky threw three interceptions in this contest. Mike Tomlin has won 4 of his last 5 games against this AFC North rival.
