The Pittsburgh Steelers (5-6) and Baltimore Ravens (5-6) will lock horns in a primetime Thanksgiving night that promises to end the holiday with hard hits and a close score. The game can be seen on NFL Network, or live streamed by clicking this link. Steelers fans can hear the game on WDVE 102.5, while Ravens fans can tune in to 1090 WBAL.
Both teams are coming off victories, but after a slow start the Steelers are entering play with the most momentum. "That team is hot," Ravens running back Ray Rice said. "They're playing good football right now. They have (a) group, they have their stable of how they want to play football and they're doing a good job of it right now."
The Steelers are being careful not to put any bulletin board material up in Baltimore's locker room though. Wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said of the Ravens, "They are a tough team, we have to go into their place and look forward to a good battle. There is a lot on the line with this game like it always is when we play them. It always seems like whenever either team is trying to get somewhere, the other is in their way.
"It's that way this week as we are battling in the division and it's going to be a good game Thanksgiving night."
In a rivalry this familiar, the Ravens may need to break out some new tricks. Last week they showed a Wildcat look with mobile backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor taking snaps. "We'll be running stuff that we know and understand against a team that we pretty much understand," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "I'm sure there will be a wrinkle or two that they'll throw at us that we'll have to be ready for and just go play football."
Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco was no fan of the new look, however. "I don't like that stuff. ... I'm the quarterback," Flacco said. "I want to be behind the line of scrimmage, I want to be taking the snaps."
