PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) – The game now a lot more attractive for playoff intrigue and it remains one of the best rivalries in the sport, the Steelers-Ravens game Sunday is being flexed.
The second matchup will now be an 8:15p kickoff in Baltimore on January 1. The Steelers are still a longshot to make the playoffs, but at 7-8 their chances have risen and could be helped again if the Colts could beat the Chargers Monday night. The Ravens are a game behind Cincinnati in the AFC North.
Ravens beat the Steelers 16-14 with practice squad quarterback Anthony Brown leading much of the second half.
Baltimore ran for 215 yards, 120 by JK Dobbins. Kenny Pickett suffered a concussion on the first series of the game. Mitch Trubisky went 22-30 for 276 yards and a touchdown, but also threw three interceptions.
Steelers will finish the regular season at home against the Browns on January 8. Cleveland has already been eliminated from the post-season. The game on January 1 will make the fifth prime-time matchup of the season for the Steelers.
