The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens will square off on the NFL’s biggest stage Sunday night with two seasons on the line. The winner will be crowned champion of the AFC North, the loser will have thier season ended at Acrisure Stadium.
Both teams’ quarterbacks have missed time this year, but each appeared as a full participant in the final injury report of the regular season.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a full participant in every practice this week as he continues to maneuver a fractured left wrist he suffered weeks ago.
Most notably, T.J. Watt is finally trending towards a return to play after the freak dry needling incident that kept him sidelined each of the last two weeks.

The injury report is rather bare, but the Steelers will also, of course, be missing their most dangerous offensive weapon, DK Metcalf.
Metcalf is serving the final game of his two-game suspension on Sunday. He is far and away the team’s leading receiver with nearly three times as many yards as the next highest wide receiver.
With the exception of Metcalf, both squads are shaping up to be at nearly full strength in a game that former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher predicts will not disappoint.

“This is going to be a slugfest,” Cowher said. “And this is going to be one of those games where it becomes very personal. This is going to go back to the old Pittsburgh Steelers-Baltimore Ravens game. You know what? No hitting during the week because we’re going to leave it all out on that field.”
