Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens preview: Kickoff time, news, prediction and how to watch on DAZN

Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season features a matchup with huge playoff ramifications tonight, as the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) host divisional rival, the Baltimore Ravens (8-8).

Significant stakes are on the line for both teams as the winner captures the AFC North division title and heads to the playoffs.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of this winner-take-all showdown, just one of many games in an exciting Week 18 slate streaming live on DAZN for only 99p!

Keys to the game

• Fast start: Each team needs to set the tone early on. Who can punch whom in the mouth first will be a telltale sign.
• Aaron Rodgers' bounceback: Without DK Metcalf in Week 17, Rodgers struggled and only threw for 168 yards against the Browns. Metcalf will be out again, serving the last of his two-game suspension. Rodgers rarely has two bad games in a row, and it would be a shock if he has another setback.

Playoff implications

Whoever emerges victorious wins the AFC North and clinches a playoff spot.
