Match preview

Pittsburgh (5-5-1) don't look a huge distance behind AFC North leaders Baltimore (8-3) on paper heading into Week 13 but the difference in their prospects for the rest of the season is pretty stark.

The Steelers have slumped to the bottom of the division they have won in four of the last seven seasons, including last year, and the end looks to be near for the career of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Pittsburgh were thrashed 41-10 by the Bengals last week - with their only touchdown being the last score of a one-sided game - and they could suffer another embarrassing home defeat on Sunday.

The Ravens have been involved in some wild finishes this season, and could easily have more losses on their record than they have, but it’s hard to see them coming up short against the struggling Steelers.

They were not great in their 16-10 win over the Browns last week as quarterback Lamar Jackson had a career-worst four interceptions, but their defence pulled out the win.

Pittsburgh have conceded 41 points in each of their last two games, are 3-2-1 at home this season, including a dreadful 16-16 tie against the winless Lions in their last home game, and it’s going to be tough for them to arrest their slide against the Ravens.
