The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will meet Sunday night for an AFC North title and a trip to the NFL playoffs.
A win or draw in primetime would give the Steelers their first division crown since 2020. Baltimore is aiming for its third straight division championship.
Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey weighed in on the winner-take-all situation, suggesting the game was indeed a script-worthy plot point.

“The NFL writers did a good job with this,” Humphrey told reporters when asked to share his thoughts on facing the Steelers in Pittsburgh in Week 18.
Humphrey is a four-time Pro Bowler and has four interceptions in 14 games this season.

Veteran NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers had perhaps his best game in a Steelers uniform in a road win at Baltimore on Dec. 7, thanks in large part to a seven-catch, 148-yard performance by DK Metcalf, who will be ineligible to play Sunday night due to a two-game suspension.

Metcalf will not play as punishment for making contact with a fan in Detroit earlier this month.
The stakes should keep the Steelers from having a hangover after allowing the Cleveland Browns to take an early 10-point lead before holding on to an upset victory last week.
When asked if it was frustrating to lose to a team that came in with just three wins on the season and with so much at stake, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin shrugged.

“Man, there are a lot of things one could get frustrated about in our business,” he said. “I’ve learned to always move forward. My windshield is much bigger than my rearview mirror.”
The Ravens and Steelers will kick off at 8:20 ET on January 4.
