The National Football League has made an important decision regarding the Week 18 schedule, particularly regarding the AFC North matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens — a must-win game for two divisional rivals looking to make a postseason run.
After the Steelers failed to clinch a playoff spot on Sunday, the NFL has flexed the Week 18 matchup between Pittsburgh and Baltimore to January 4th at 8:20 p.m. EST on NBC’s Sunday Night Football — an expected move considering the win-or-go-home scenario hanging in the balance.

Heading into Week 17, there were two scenarios in which the Steelers could clinch a playoff berth: a Ravens‘ loss to the Green Bay Packers or a Pittsburgh victory over the Cleveland Browns. But the Black and Gold faithful sadly know how that turned out.
Luckily for Pittsburgh’s Week 18 Sunday Night Football odds, the Steelers are expected to welcome back star edge rusher T.J. Watt, who’s missed the past several games as he recovered from a partially collapsed lung.
