"The win-and-get-in Week 18 showdown between the Ravens and Steelers will take place Sunday night in Pittsburgh. The NFL has announced the full final-weekend schedule, with the marquee matchup between the Ravens and Steelers set to take place on "Sunday Night Football" on NBC, with kickoff set for 8:20 p.m. ET. The Ravens-Steelers winner will capture the AFC North title and secure the No. 4 seed in the playoffs. The loser heads home for the season."
"Two other matchups with playoff implications will take place as part of a Saturday doubleheader on ABC/ESPN. The Carolina Panthers will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m., with both teams still hopeful of winning the NFC South. And the late game will see the Seattle Seahawks visit the San Francisco 49ers at 8 p.m., with the winner capturing the NFC West title and the No. 1 playoff seed in the conference."
"Pittsburgh (9-7) has had multiple chances to clinch the AFC North, including Sunday against the Browns in Cleveland, but a 13-6 loss kept any potential celebrations on ice for one more week. "The competitor in me is saying, 'We lost this game. We lost a chance to clinch today,'" Steelers defensive tackle Cam Heyward said. "But it's also like, 'Bring it on. Baltimore is coming in.' "Winner takes all. Let's win it at home.""
