The Ravens’ biggest game of the season just got a little bigger.

The third-seeded Ravens (12-5) will host the sixth-seeded Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7) in their playoff opener Saturday night, the AFC North rivals’ third meeting this season. The game will kick off at 8 p.m. and be broadcast on Prime Video, the streaming service’s first-ever playoff game.

The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Las Vegas Raiders, 34-20, on Sunday to claim the fifth seed in the conference.

The Ravens and Steelers split their regular-season series, but they head into the playoffs on different trajectories. The Ravens have won four straight games by a combined margin of 135-43, including a Week 16 home win over Pittsburgh, 34-17, that helped them catch up in the divisional race. The Steelers have dropped four straight, including a 19-17 loss Saturday to the Cincinnati Bengals that cost them a chance at the AFC’s No. 5 seed. They haven’t scored more than 17 points in a game since Week 14.

Even as the Ravens have mostly battled Cincinnati for AFC North superiority in recent years, Pittsburgh has dominated their regular-season series. The Steelers are 8-2 over their past 10 meetings, with an average margin of victory of just four points. The Ravens’ Week 16 win marked the first game in which they scored at least 20 points against Pittsburgh since November 2020. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is just 3-5 as a starter in the rivalry, having missed several games because of injuries or to rest ahead of the playoffs.

Here’s what you need to know about the Steelers ahead of their trip to Baltimore. All stats are accurate as of Saturday night unless otherwise noted.

Offense

Key players: QB Russell Wilson, RB Najee Harris, WR George Pickens, TE Pat Freiermuth, C Zach Frazier

Stats: No. 13 in FTN’s opponent-adjusted efficiency entering Week 18 (16th in passing, 16th in rushing), No. 20 in total offense (319.4 yards per game), No. 14 in scoring offense (22.4 points per game)

Strength: Deep-ball passing. Wilson is averaging a ridiculous 0.95 expected points added per attempt on throws at least 20 yards downfield, according to TruMedia, the NFL’s second-best mark among regular starters. Overall, he went 21-for-45 for 681 yards, four touchdowns and one interception on deep shots during the regular season, hitting Pickens eight times for 293 yards. But the duo’s connection has been weak since Pickens returned from a hamstring injury in Week 17. In losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Bengals, Pickens had just four catches overall on 13 targets for 50 yards.

Weakness: Red-zone offense. Since Wilson replaced Justin Fields as the Steelers’ starting quarterback in Week 7, Pittsburgh has scored a touchdown on just 47.4% of its drives inside the 20-yard line, the NFL’s sixth-worst rate in that span. (The Ravens, at 73.8%, are No. 2 since Week 7.) The Steelers went 0-for-4 in the red zone in their Week 11 win over the Ravens, settling for three field goals and an interception, and 2-for-2 in their Week 16 road loss. Wilson also lost a fumble near the goal line on a long scramble in Baltimore, ending another potential scoring drive.

Defense

Key players: DL Cameron Heyward, OLB T.J. Watt, ILB Patrick Queen, CB Joey Porter Jr., S Minkah Fitzpatrick

Stats: No. 12 in FTN’s opponent-adjusted efficiency entering Week 18 (11th in passing, 13th in rushing), No. 12 in total defense (326.7 yards per game), No. 7 in scoring defense (20.4 points per game)

Strength: Pass rush. The Steelers sacked Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow four times Saturday, and four players have at least 5.5 sacks this season: Watt (11.5), Heyward (eight), and outside linebackers Alex Highsmith (six) and Nick Herbig (5.5). Pittsburgh flustered Jackson in Week 11, pressuring him on 42.9% of his drop-backs, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. The Ravens kept him better protected in Week 16 (32% pressure rate), but the Steelers were missing several key starters. The Ravens also struggled to give Jackson a clean pocket Saturday (38.9% pressure rate) against a banged-up Browns defense.

Weakness: Quick-game pass defense. When opposing quarterbacks get rid of the ball in 2.5 seconds or less, the Steelers turn into one of the NFL’s worst defenses. Pittsburgh has allowed 7 yards per pass attempt (29th in the NFL) on 75.5% accuracy (20th) and minus-0.21 EPA per attempt (28th) on quick-strike throws, according to TruMedia. Over the past three weeks, in losses to the Ravens, Chiefs and Bengals, opposing quarterbacks went 39-for-46 (84.8%) for 466 yards and four touchdowns on those short drop-backs, good for a 137.9 passer rating. Jackson is 16-for-20 for 193 yards and two touchdowns against Pittsburgh this season.

Special teams

The Steelers entered Week 18 with the NFL’s best special teams play, according to FTN. Pro Bowl kicker Chris Boswell is 41-for-44 (93.2%) on field goal attempts and 35-for-35 on extra-point tries this season. Pittsburgh has blocked two field goals and one punt, and punt returner Calvin Austin has a 73-yard score.
