----------------WELCOME TO THE LIVE BLOG!------------------

The Pittsburgh Steelers face their AFC rivals in Baltimore as they play the Ravens and we have the live blog for you right here.

This is probably one of the biggest matchups of the night because it carries so much importantance. Not only is it two of the top AFC teams or a divisional matchup, the Ravens can get one game closer to clinching the division with a win this evening. 

WIth a win today the Ravens get a playoff spot and then stand just one more win away from taking the AFC North.

The Steelers are handicapped without Ben Roethlisberger who is still out following a rib injury against the Kansas City Chiefs back in Week 10. 

Despite not have Roethlisberger against the Ravens in Week 11, they made it a close game as Baltimore was able to edge out Pittsburgh 13-10.

The Steelers lost against the Cleveland Browns the following week and fell to 6-5.

They are still more than alive in the AFC Wild Card, but a team like the Steelers does not play for Wild Cards. 

Roethlisberger is a big question mark without a doubt in the season. Byron Leftwich was knocked out and now they rely on Charlie Batch.

They have average running and passing games meaning they will rely heavily on their defense to get the job done for them. 

Join us for the live blog of this matchup. We will bring you scoring updates and ainformation about anything that happens on and off the field. 

Refresh the page and scroll to the top of the page for the latest in this game. The score will remain n the top left-hand corner of the article.
