Steelers-Ravens NFL Week 9: What You Need To Know

PITTSBURGH, PA - The Baltimore Ravens jumped to a 3-1 record and seemed to be primed for a serious run at the AFC North title after beating the Steelers at Heinz Field in September. Since then, the Ravens have fallen on hard times that fans of the Black-and-Gold hope continue when the teams meet again Sunday in Baltimore.

The Ravens are 1-3 since defeating the Steelers, losing to the Cleveland Browns, New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers. The loss to the Saints was particularly crushing, coming when usually reliable kicker Justin Tucker missed an extra point.

The Steelers, meanwhile, have a 3-0 record since the Ravens loss and lead the AFC North with a 4-2-1 record. They’ve been relying increasingly on running back James Conner, the AFC offensive player of the month for October, who is making fans forget about the absence of disgruntled running back Le’Veon Bell.

Will Conner and the Steelers avenge their earlier loss to the Ravens and put even more distance between themselves in the standings? Stay tuned. In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about the game:
