The Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2) are set to host the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) this Sunday, November 17, 2024, at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This pivotal AFC North matchup features the Ravens’ league-leading offense, averaging 31.8 points per game, against the Steelers’ formidable defense, which has not allowed more than 30 points in a game this season. Baltimore’s quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has been in exceptional form, throwing for 290 yards and four touchdowns in their recent 35-34 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Jackson has historically struggled against Pittsburgh, holding a 1-3 record as a starter and averaging five sacks per game in those contests.

The Steelers, currently on a three-game winning streak, have been bolstered by the recent acquisition of wide receiver Mike Williams, who caught the game-winning touchdown in their 28-27 victory over the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Russell Wilson has shown improvement, throwing for 737 yards and six touchdowns over the past three games. Defensively, Pittsburgh’s pass rush, led by T.J. Watt with 6.5 sacks this season, will be crucial in containing Jackson’s mobility. This game is critical for both teams, as the winner will gain the upper hand in the AFC North division race.
