Tonight at 8:25 p.m. ET on CBS and NFL Network, the Baltimore Ravens (0-1) will have to somehow shed the distraction of the Ray Rice domestic violence scandal in time to face their vaunted rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0).

While the Ravens reel from the Rice scandal, his backup Bernard Pierce is attempting to rebound from an early fumble in Week 1 that got him benched in favor of Justin Forsett. While Pierce should get action tonight, Forsett is expected to open Week 2 as the starter.
"The game is done. It's shaken off. On to next week," Pierce said.
Baltimore nearly squeaked out a win over the Bengals last week after falling behind 15-0, but the Ravens were plagued by a bad case of the drops.
"We dropped all the gimmies, but we caught all the hard ones," newly acquired Steve Smith said. "Things can happen and you've got to take responsibility. This receiver group has a lot of opportunities to be great, and I think we overthought things and ran before we had the ball. We've just got to play better."
Even though Pittsburgh is 1-0 on the year, they too had issues in their opener. They blew a 24-point lead at halftime and allowed the Cleveland Browns to tie them at 27 before escaping with a three-point win.
"People probably didn't like the way we came out with a 'W,' but we came out with a 'W,'" cornerback Ike Taylor said. "So nobody has really nothing to talk about except for the small things, and we'll correct them."
