Baltimore will try to maintain its position atop the AFC North when it travels to Pittsburgh in a divisional matchup on Sunday afternoon. The Ravens have won five of their last six games, including a 10-9 win against Denver last week. Pittsburgh has won three of its last four contests to keep its slim playoff hopes alive.
Baltimore got off to a mediocre start this season, going 3-3 through its first six games. The Ravens have been fantastic since then, winning five of their last six games to take over first place in the AFC North. They picked up a win over Cincinnati in early October, giving them the current tiebreaker as both teams are sitting at 8-4. The teams will meet again in the final week of the regular season in what could decide the division winner. Baltimore’s lone loss since mid-October came in a 28-27 final at Jacksonville, as the Ravens blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter. They bounced back with a 10-9 win against Denver last week, despite losing quarterback Lamar Jackson to a knee injury in the first quarter.

Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley took over for Jackson, leading the team on a 91-yard scoring drive in 16 plays on the final possession, scoring on a 2-yard touchdown run with 28 seconds remaining. Jackson is going to be sidelined again on Sunday, giving Huntley another opportunity to start—he is just 1-3 in his four starts during his career. He started in place of Jackson in the 2021 season finale, throwing for 141 yards and running for 72 in a 16-13 win for Pittsburgh. Jackson is also Baltimore’s leading rusher, so his injury will be tough to overcome. Running back Kenyan Drake has 421 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and he is facing a Pittsburgh defense that is No. 24, allowing 362.6 yards per game.
