Huge Game for Pittsburgh
Even though this game is in Baltimore it is a little bit more important for the Steelers. Pittsburgh lost 17-14 earlier this season at home against the Ravens so if the Steelers lose this one they would trail Baltimore by a game in the division and they would in reality be two games back since they would lose the tiebreaker. If the Steelers win this game they would hold the tiebreaker because of a better division record. The key for Pittsburgh is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. When he plays they are 7-2 against the Ravens. When he is out due to injury the Steelers are 0-4. Big Ben does have a sprained right foot but he is expected to play on Sunday night.
Baltimore Injury
There is an injury in this game that is going under the radar but is huge. The Ravens love to run the ball and the big reason they do well is running back Le’Ron McClain. He is doubtful this week with a sprained ankle. The Ravens also have left tackle Michael Oher dealing with an injury although he is expected to play.
