Result: Win
You won't find a more fierce NFL rivalry than these two AFC North Division teams. You also won't find two teams more familiar with each other.
Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the Ravens offense draws the publicity. Quietly, though, Baltimore's defense has become elite.
The Ravens have yielded an average of only 10.7 points in their last four games. They rank first in run defense and No. 2 in sacks with 54.
Pittsburgh is averaging just 14.2 points in its past four games, failing to step up against better competition. The Steelers lack elite running backs. Their one above average receiver is George Pickens, and he's untrustworthy and pouty. Russell Wilson has hit a wall. The 36-year-old Wilson has been far less effective down the stretch averaging 171 yards passing in his last five games.
The Steelers have maintained a top-10 defense. Baltimore could be without its best wide receiver, Zay Flowers.
There were only 34 points scored in the team's first meeting this season.
There's also a chance of snow.
