Not only does this game have playoff implications, but it’s a rematch of a Week 11 game that saw the Steelers take down the Ravens by way of field goals (kicker Chris Boswell scored all 18 points for Pittsburgh).
The best football will be played when the Ravens – who are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in passing and rushing efficiency on offense, respectively – have the ball, and the Steelers defense, ranked No. 10 and No. 4 in those same defensive categories, is on the field. With a division title on the line and elite matchups all over the field, this might be the best game of Week 16.
Lamar Jackson has faced split-safety coverage on a career-high 38.9% of dropbacks this season, though that mark still ranks as the 10th-lowest rate in the NFL. In Week 11 against the Steelers, Jackson faced single-high coverage on 77.1% of dropbacks (20.0% split-safety), his second-highest rate faced in a game this season. He completed just 13 of 27 passes for 184 yards a touchdown and an interception against single-high, resulting in a 48.1% completion percentage, his second lowest in a game this season.
The Steelers have played single-high on 68.8% of dropbacks overall this season, the highest rate in the NFL.
