The Baltimore Ravens are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 16 clash that could ultimately decide the winner of the AFC North.

The Steelers (10-4) can wrap up their first division title since 2020 with a win. They currently lead the Ravens by one game in the AFC North standings but also beat them head-to-head in Week 11. A season sweep of the series would allow Pittsburgh to clinch the head-to-head tiebreaker, which would make their two-game lead in the division insurmountable.

With that in mind, John Harbaugh’s Ravens may be playing with some extra urgency on Saturday. A win would tie them with the Steelers atop the division and give Baltimore a fighting chance to overtake their long-time rival over the final couple of weeks of the season.

Lamar Jackson would probably like to earn some vengeance in this matchup as well. He has struggled during his career against the Steelers, posting just a 2-5 record in seven starts and posting 66.7 passer rating.

Can Jackson finally have a good game against the Steelers, or will Mike Tomlin’s defense continue to be one of the toughest in the NFL?
