Coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have to turn it around quickly from Monday night’s win over the Cleveland Browns. They have to play the Ravens on Sunday in Baltimore, with both teams holding on to a slim hope of making it into the AFC playoffs as the final Wild Card team.
Tomlin says it will be a typical Steelers/Ravens rivalry game.
To get into the playoffs, the Steelers need to win and hope Jacksonville upsets Indianapolis on Sunday, and that the Chargers and Raiders do not play to a tie. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore, 20-19, on December 5th when Ravens coach John Harbaugh went for two after a touchdown at the end of the game, going for the win instead of playing for overtime.
Steelers dealing with injuries suffered Monday include guard Trai Turner (knee), tackle Dan Moore Jr. (ankle), and safety Terrell Edmunds (groin). Center Kendrick Green hopes to return from his calf injury this week. Several Steelers remain on the covid list.

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will not play their finale against the Bengals on Sunday, and will have surgery to repair the torn labrum in his (non-throwing) left shoulder.
