Week 18 schedule: Steelers-Ravens on SNF for AFC North crown
A winner-take-all rivalry clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at Acrisure Stadium will serve as Week 18's headliner next week on Sunday Night Football.
The winner of Ravens-Steelers moves on as AFC North champions and the AFC's No. 4 seed in the playoffs, while the loser goes home. Baltimore has won the division in each of the past two seasons. Pittsburgh's last division crown dates back to 2020. Aaron Rodgers and Co. had a chance to end that drought Sunday, but they couldn't defeat the Cleveland Browns.
The NFL announced its full schedule for the regular-season finale. Action begins Saturday with a tilt between the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers with major playoff implications in the NFC South. The Seattle Seahawks also visit the San Francisco 49ers that day in a battle for the 1-seed in the NFC. Here is the full schedule:
