Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET on NBC one of the NFL's most heated rivalries will resume in Pittsburgh where the Steelers (5-3) will host the Baltimore Ravens (5-3) in a Week 9 edition of Sunday Night Football. The primetime game can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Ravens fans can listen to the radio broadcast on 1090 WBAL, while Steelers fans may do the same on 102.5 WDVE.
Pittsburgh is running hot after putting on an aerial show against the Colts last week in which Ben Roethlisberger threw six touchdown passes and piled up 522 yards through the air. This week they might have to turn to running back Le'Veon Bell more though, since Baltimore has proven adept in the past at restraining Roethlisberger.
Bell hasn't rushed for more than 100 yards since Week 3, but said the offense will click no matter what the Ravens decide to do defensively. "We know what we're capable of," Bell said. "We showed everybody. Now we have to go out there and put performance on top of performance."
The matchup is significant for positioning in the AFC North, with both teams at 5-3, and the Bengals lurking at 4-2-1 coming off a home win over Baltimore last week. "The main thing is we continue to improve," Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh said coming out of last week's heartbreaker.
"We're playing a great team, obviously by the way they played last week. It's our rival. It's there. All the things that go into that game are going to be - just like this last game - all those things are at stake."
Pittsburgh's defense has been vulnerable to both the run and pass in 2014, so Baltimore may be able to get quarterback Joe Flacco on track after two straight subpar games.
