Replacement Ravens Fall Flat, Lose 17-10 to Steelers: Live Game Log

The Ravens host the Steelers on Saturday afternoon. Stay with RavenCountry.com for all the latest game updates from the opening kickoff to the final whistle.

Baltimore is at home for its Week 18 matchup with division rival Pittsburgh. With every possible goal achieved for the regular season, including the AFC North title and the AFC's No. 1 seed, it's a meaningless game for the Ravens.

But the same cannot be said for Pittsburgh, who needs a win and lots of help to make the postseason tournament.

If the Steelers beat Baltimore, they still need Miami to beat Buffalo and Tennessee to beat or tie Jacksonville. Or, Pittsburgh can make the playoffs with a Bills win, a Jaguars win, and a Texans-Colts tie.

As Ravens coach John Harbaugh looks to the postseason, he'll be resting quarterback and MVP candidate Lamar Jackson. Starting under center for Baltimore will be backup Tyler Huntley, who holds a 1-1 career record against the Steelers. Overall, he's 3-5 as a starter with seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.

"I'm cool with it," Jackson said. "Me and Coach talked about it. I feel like it was best to sit me."

Jackson probably isn't the only starter who will sit for Baltimore, but Harbaugh hasn't offered a comprehensive list.

Rumor: Russell Wilson to Sign with Steelers? How Ravens are Involved

"It's really not any one thing that goes into it," Harbaugh said. "Just all things considered, it seemed to be the right thing to do. We had conversations with Lamar and others and made the decision."

Inactives for Saturday's matchup with the Steelers are: Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham Jr., Lamar Jackson, Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey, Kevin Zeitler and Malik Harrison.
