The Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Week 17 matchup means a great deal to the AFC playoff picture. So much so that the game was flexed to later in the afternoon to maximize the number of people who could watch. Yet, even with the game flexed to 4:25 p.m., it’s still only available in a small part of the country.
Pittsburgh hangs on to their playoff hopes by a thread. They’ll need to not only beat Baltimore but get a little help from around the league to squeak into the postseason and secure a wild-card seed. For the Ravens, they’ve already clinched the AFC’s top seed and will have a first-round bye as well as home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, making this game far less important for them.
Still, any AFC North rivalry is bound to be a good game, regardless of who is playing. And you don’t get more chippy than Pittsburgh vs. Baltimore.
If you’re in the blue, you’ll see the Ravens vs. Steelers in Week 17 on CBS.
