The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for a massive Week 11 showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
After a heart-stopping 35-34 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football, the Ravens (7-3) are riding high but know the challenge ahead won’t be easy. Lamar Jackson delivered another signature performance, rallying Baltimore from a 14-point third-quarter deficit with three fourth-quarter touchdown passes. Rashod Bateman sealed the game with a late score, while the defense held off Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ furious last-minute two-point attempt.
Now, the Ravens turn their focus to Pittsburgh. The Steelers (7-2) are leading the AFC North and have been a force at home this season. This rivalry matchup is as crucial as they come, with playoff positioning and division supremacy on the line.
Here’s a breakdown of who’s calling the game and managing the officiating at Acrisure Stadium this afternoon.
