The NFL announced that the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their final regular season game on Saturday in the primetime slot. Preceding the game will be the Baltimore Ravens, whose game affects the Steelers’ playoff seeding. If the Ravens win, the Steelers will lose out on the AFC North title.
And the Ravens play the Browns, so the chances of the Steelers winning the AFC North seem rather low. It’s unclear why the NFL decided to schedule a game that so much impacts another before, but that’s what they did. The Steelers could very well kick off their game knowing they lost the division.
