The excitement is palpable as the NFL playoffs approach a critical showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and their fierce rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, in an AFC wild-card matchup this Saturday.
The Ravens earned the No. 3 seed in the AFC after a decisive 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, with quarterback Lamar Jackson delivering a standout performance. Jackson completed 16 out of 32 passes for 217 yards and threw two touchdowns, while also rushing for 63 yards on nine attempts. This game marked a historical achievement for Jackson, making him the first player in NFL history to exceed 4,000 passing yards and 900 rushing yards in a single season.
On the other hand, the Steelers are eager to end their streak of five consecutive playoff losses. Led by quarterback Russell Wilson, whose impressive regular season statistics include a 63.7% completion rate, 2,482 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and just five interceptions, the team is determined to advance further this year. A key factor in the Steelers’ strategy will be their formidable defense, which has allowed an average of only 20.4 points per game throughout the season.
Fans can catch the action on Prime Video, with the game set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 11. For local viewers, the game will also be broadcast on WMAR (ABC) in Baltimore and WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh. Streaming options include Prime Video and NFL+.
This matchup not only showcases two storied franchises but also promises to deliver high-octane drama and excitement. With the stakes higher than ever, both teams have a lot to prove, and fans are anticipating a thrilling contest.
