The Baltimore Ravens are going to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football tonight. Here are the game day bullet points:

Stats were obtained from the Baltimore Ravens team page at NFL.com and the Pittsburgh Steelers team page at NFL.com. 

  • The Baltimore Ravens trail the Pittsburgh Steelers in the all time record 27-21. The Steelers have won the last three meetings.
  • The Ravens are coming off a dominant 27-14 performance against the Broncos. The Steelers got their first win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-27.
  • This could be a high scoring affair. The Ravens are fifth in the NFL in points per game with 32.3. The Steelers are seventh in points per game with 29.3.
  • The Steelers have an explosive offense. They are third in the NFL in yards per game and second in passing yards per game.
  • The Ravens have the 14th ranked offense in yards per game and the ninth ranked passing offense.
  • The Steelers defense has struggled all the way around. They rank 29th in yards allowed per game.
  • Antonio Brown may be the Steelers biggest star but JuJu Smith-Schuster leads the Ravens’ top rival in receptions and receiving yards.
  • Mark Andrews has stepped up in the past two weeks. The rookie tight end could be a huge factor in this game, as the Steelers linebackers and safeties have trouble covering the tight end.
  • Hayden Hurst is listed as questionable. If he plays, the Ravens will have one more weapon in the passing game.
  • The Ravens pass rush is going to be a real key to victory. The Ravens have 9 sacks coming into the season. They need to add to that total to win this game.
  • This is a chance for redemption for the Ravens. Two years in a row, the Ravens had a close call in Pittsburgh go the wrong way. This one is going to mean a little more to the Ravens than just another game.
  • This is a great week for the Ravens to get some balance in the offense. Alex Collins has struggled this season. This is a great chance for him to get going. It’s a big game and the Steelers struggle against the run.
  • The Ravens are a completely different team offensively than they were last year. The Ravens have made huge strides since last season. The Steelers may be taken by surprise by the new look Ravens.
