The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face off in a Week 18 matchup that could be a better game than some people anticipate. Both teams haven’t had the seasons that they were hoping but matchups between the two always turn out to be good games.
On Sunday night, the NFL announced their official Week 18 schedule with times for each game. There was some speculation that the contest between Baltimore and Pittsburgh could have been moved if the game had big playoff implications, but with that not being the case, the matchup will remain at 1pm EST.
Ravens-Steelers stays at 1 pm next Sunday, league announces.

It doesn’t come as much of a surprise that the game between the Ravens and Steelers wasn’t flexed, as Baltimore has lost five-straight games and Pittsburgh is hovering right around a .500 record. With the AFC North already clinched by the Cincinnati Bengals, the league thought it was worthwhile to have other games in the 4:00pm slate of games, as well as in prime time.
