Steelers GameDay Cheat Sheet is a weekly series featuring a quick glance at the upcoming Steelers game, including odds, records, things to watch for, and how to watch/listen to the game.
Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6) at Baltimore Ravens (6-6)
The Steelers and Ravens rivalry has long been one of the NFL’s most balanced and hard‑fought matchups, with 39 of their meetings decided by a single score. Pittsburgh holds the overall edge in the series, but Baltimore has struck back in recent postseason battles, including a decisive win last January. Every December clash between these two teams carries added weight, and this one is no different.
Aaron Rodgers leads the Steelers with veteran efficiency, supported by Jaylen Warren’s steady production and D.K. Metcalf’s big‑play ability. On the other side, Lamar Jackson continues to drive Baltimore’s offense, complemented by Derrick Henry’s power and Zay Flowers’ emergence as a reliable target. Both defenses feature stars—T.J. Watt chasing sack records and Roquan Smith anchoring the Ravens—but each has shown vulnerability against the pass.
With playoff implications looming, the game comes down to execution in the red zone and turnovers. Pittsburgh enters with a strong +8 takeaway differential, while Baltimore has struggled in that area. In a rivalry defined by razor‑thin margins, one mistake or one big play could decide who takes control of the AFC North in December.

Pregame: AFC North hangs in the balance as Steelers travel to Baltimore
Few matchups in the NFL carry the weight of Steelers vs. Ravens. Every meeting feels like a playoff game, built on defense, physicality, and the kind of grudges that don’t fade with time. As Pittsburgh heads into Baltimore this Sunday, the stakes are more than bragging rights — it’s about positioning in the AFC North.
Joe and Brian breakdown everything you need to know for game day, including their key matchups. Stick around later in the show for a ran “way too soon” rant about quarterbacks, whether Will Howard should – or will ever – play, and how some of their future plans hinge on this late portion of the season.
