When the Steelers and Ravens kick off on Saturday, it will be 1,903 days since Lamar Jackson’s one and only victory over Pittsburgh as Baltimore’s starting quarterback. For all of his success so far, the two-time league MVP is 1-4 against the Ravens’ chief rival.
Despite that, Jackson and the Ravens are a decided favorite for their Week 17 showdown against the Steelers in a game that could be remembered as the de facto AFC North division title game.
