Ravens vs Steelers | Week 18 Preview & Prediction

Aaron Rodgers, Mike Tomlin, Nick Herbig (TJ Watt-possibly ?) and the Pittsburgh Steelers face Lamar Jackson (or Tyler Huntley) Derrick Henry, Roquan Smith, Zay Flowers and the Baltimore Ravens in a huge week 18 matchup that will decide the AFC North.

It is a winner take all game and TJ Watt is still a question mark on whether he will return for this game. The Ravens lost crucial games to the Bengals, Steelers and Patriots, the Lamar Jackson injury has made him far less effective this season and his recent back injury may keep him out of this game and will force the Ravens to turn to Tyler Huntley once again.

The Ravens will need Mark Andrews to play well he’ll be matched up with Patrick Queen. Marlon Humphrey (still a very good corner) as well as the rookie Malaki Starks or the All-Pro Kyle Hamilton have been criticized for their play. Look for the rookie Mike Green to potentially have a huge impact on this game as he develops as an up and coming young edge defenderThe run game is critical for both teams, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell are versatile backs with necessary receiving abilities, in order to take the pressure of Rodgers, they’ll have to have a decent day on the ground. The Ravens have turned to Keaton Mitchell often but with the way Derrick Henry is playing.

With guys like Joey Porter Jr, Jalen Ramsey lurking in coverage the Ravens will need to be efficient on offense and rely on the run game and not turn the ball over. It may be Aaron Rodgers last career game, this will be an awesome showdown with the winner winning the division and getting a home playoff game and the loser will have their season end.
