A couple of days back, 4 Baltimore players including Lamar Jackson, Marlon Humphrey and Roquan Smith made the NFL first team All-Pro. Ravens RB Derrick Henry (or as everyone lovingly calls him, King Henry) and safety Kyle Hamilton were named in second team All-Pro.
But surely that is not the only achievement that John Harbaugh and the Ravens are looking for. The elder Harbaugh led the Ravens to a Super Bowl win in the 2012 season. But since then, Baltimore has been looking to replicate that success.
Despite being the number 1 seed in the AFC last year, the Ravens fell short to the eventual champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Harbaugh’s boys are seeded #3 this season and will take on their division rivals in the second game of the NFL Playoff Saturday.
So, who do the Baltimore Ravens play tonight and where can you watch the Ravens game tonight? Let’s find out what’s at stake for the Ravens tonight!
The Baltimore Ravens will be up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second game of the NFL Playoff Saturday. The AFC North division rivals have met twice this season and are 1-1, with the Ravens having the last laugh in the most recent meeting.
Offensively, Lamar Jackson and co. are ranked #1 in overall offense this season. They have scored 65 total touchdowns this season and are tied with the Buffalo Bills for the second most TDs this season. The only team that has scored more offensive touchdowns is the Detroit Lions (70). Jackson has made a strong case for season MVP with 45 total touchdowns (41 passing, 4 rushing) for 5,087 total yards. RB Derrick Henry is a frontrunner for OPOTY honors with 16 touchdowns while averaging 113 rushing yards per game!
These numbers combined with WR Rashod Bateman’s 9 and TE Mark Andrews’ 11 touchdowns, alongside TE Isaiah Likely and Justice Hill makes this Ravens side an offensive menace. The Ravens rank top 10 in overall defense too which makes them a formidable side. But Lamar Jackson will have to fight the ghosts of the past, especially when it comes to the playoffs.
But the Steelers are not to be taken lightly. They have experienced a significant dip in their form coming to this game. They are ranked 12th in overall defense and quite low at 23rd spot in overall offense. But they did beat the Ravens in their first meeting this season.
One player who can make a difference here is the veteran Russell Wilson. With an overall record of 9-7 in the playoffs, Wilson won the Super Bowl in the 2013-14 season with the Seahawks. Surprisingly this will be Wilson’s first appearance in a postseason game since the 2020 season!

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin has his own demon to fight. He has a 8-10 postseason record (44% win rate) as the Steelers head coach as opposed to 63% win rate for the regular season game. The Steelers would also look forward to snapping their 4 game losing streak.
Whether the Steelers will go with the veteran Wilson or give Justin Fields a chance at redemption, remains to be seen!
The Baltimore Ravens game will kick-off live at 8:00 p.m. ET, Saturday, January 11th from the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
The Ravens vs. Steelers game tonight will be available on Amazon Prime Video tonight. The game can be streamed on the Prime Video app for mobile users.
