Baltimore will finish the regular season 13-4 after a desperate Pittsburgh squad (10-7) held on for a 17-10 win at sloppy M&T Bank Stadium.
The Steelers kept their playoff hopes alive while snapping the Ravens ‘ game-winning streak.
After securing the AFC’s No. 1 seed and the AFC North title in Week 17, the Ravens (13-4) entered Saturday’s game against their division rival with no playoff ramifications for themselves.
Baltimore sat NFL MVP favorite Lamar Jackson and six other starters: Wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers, guard Kevin Zeitler, middle linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Kyle Hamilton, and cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
