There is a huge game with massive implications for the playoffs in the AFC when the Baltimore Ravens (7-3) face the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2) at the Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh.
As it currently stands, the Steelers are top of the AFC North and hold the number three seed spot, whereas the Ravens are second in the AFC North and are in the number five seed spot. These two teams meet again in week 16, so it will be important to both teams to get the win.

QB Russell Wilson, playing in only his third game of the season, went 14-28 for 195 yards, with three touchdowns and an interception.
