But here are Pittsburgh's other scenarios that could be in play on Sunday.  Steelers tie and Titans lose to TexansSteelers and Titans lose, beat and lose/tie against Jarrod Uthoff Jersey  the Titans lose and Colts win and Steelers tie Raiders in strength of victory tiebreakerSteelers tie Raiders in strength of victory tiebreaker if the following teams win on Sunday: Minnesota, Green Bay, Kansas City and MiamiPreviewWho the Ravens and are resting may help determine whether or not Pittsburgh will qualify for the playoffs. With Baltimore having already clinched the AFC North, as well as the No. 1 seed, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh has already ruled out quarterback , offensive lineman , running back , safety and defensive lineman for Sunday's game. Tight end (ankle) and cornerback (chest) may also be ruled out of Sunday's game after mi sing practice time earlier this week.While Harbaugh has already ruled out several key players for Sunday's game, Texans head coach Bill O'Brien has not ruled anyone out for their game against Tenne see. That could change if the , who would need to lose their 1 p.m. game against the to give the Texans a shot at moving up to the No. 3 seed with a win over Tenne see, defeat Los Angeles prior to Houston's game against the Titans."Look, I think that any time we take the field, based on what we' Julius Randle Jersey re all about, our program and what we're trying to do here and what we've tried to build here for six years is we're about trying to win," O'Brien told reporters earlier this week, . "It's all about the game, trying to win games. We realize all those things that you just said are very important factors to take into relative to where we're at, but we need to play to win the game."  Regardle s of what happens in Houston, the Steelers need a win in Baltimore to have any shot at qualifying for the playoffs. To do that, Pittsburgh's offense will need to play significantly better than they have over the past two games. During that span, the Steelers' offense has scored just 20 total points while averaging a putrid 245 total yards per outing. Despite their lack of offensive production, Pittsburgh nearly won both games on the strength of their defense, which is currently tied for first in the league in sacks and is also second in the NFL in forced turnovers and fourth in the league in scoring.To be fair, the Steelers' offense faced two of the NFL's tougher defenses in recent weeks. While the (who defeated Pittsburgh 17-10 in Week 15) boast one of the league's best pa s defenses, the (who edged the Steelers last Sunday in the Meadowlands) entered last Sunday's game with the NFL's second-ranked run defense. While they will face another formidable defense this Sunday, the Ravens' decision to rest Williams and po sibly more starters should make things somewhat easier for Pittsburgh's offense, a unit that is currently 25th in the league in scoring, 31st in pa sing, 26th in rushing 26th on third downs and 32nd in red zone efficiency.Three things will have to happen Sunday if the Steelers are going to beat the Ravens. First, the Steelers will need to avoid committing turnovers, something they haven't been able to over the past two games. Specifically, quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges -- who was temporarily pulled during last Sunday's lo s to the Jets -- will need to take better care of the football after throwing six interceptions in Pittsburgh's last two games; Hodges threw just George Hill Jersey  two interceptions during his first three starts. To help take the burden off of Hodges, the Steelers will have to do a better job running the ball, as Pittsburgh has averaged just 63 yards on the ground over their past two games.  With status in question heading into Sunday's game, the Steelers will need a big game from rookie running back , who helped Pittsburgh rush for 159, 124, and 140 yards during the Steelers' recent three-game winning streak following their Week 11 lo s in Cleveland. The Steelers will also need more production from fellow backs and , who combined to rush for just 29 Josh Hart Jersey  yards on nine carries in Sunday's win over the Jets.Lastly, Pittsburgh will need splash on both sides of the ball -- and po sibly on special teams, too -- if they are going to beat the Ravens. In just about each of their wins this season, the Steelers have received big plays from at least one facet of their team. Their defense has delivered several splash plays, including two touchdowns from safety and another by rookie ILB , the Steelers' offense has received several big plays by wideout , whose 79-yard touchdown catch jumpstarted Pittsburgh's come-from-behind win over Cincinnati back in Week 12. Pittsburgh may also need more splash plays by , whose 85-yard punt return for a score against the in Week 14 proved to be a pivotal play in Pittsburgh's 23-17 victory.Can the Steelers accomplish these things against the 13-2 Ravens? While things would look rather bleak if the Steelers were going up against the Ravens' typical starting lineup, Pittsburgh is favored heading into Sunday's game against a Baltimore team that will be without several key players. That being said, the Ravens, with former Pro Bowl quarterback under center, will love nothing more than to keep the Steelers out of the playoffs with a win over their division rival.  "It's a rivalry game. It's the Steelers," Harbaugh earlier this week, via Chris Adamski of the . "They have everything to play for, and we recognize that and we'll be looking to put our absolute best foot forward, play our best football game with the guys that we'll be playing with, which will be, for the most part, most of our football team, with a few exceptions."PredictionIn 2018, amidst the drama of holdout and sit-out, the Steelers did not receive the Week 17 help they needed and were ultimately forced to watch the playoffs at home for the first time since 2013. This year, despite losing Bell, Brown, Big Ben and several other players for considerable stretches of time, Pittsburgh finds themselves in the same position now as they were in a year ago. The Steelers even being in this position is a remarkable thing given  Ike Anigbogu Jersey their personnel lo ses and who they have had to rely on to remain relevant in a season that many considered lost five weeks into the year.That being said, the Steelers have enough talent to beat a reduced Ravens team that has nothing to play for as far as playoff standings are concerned. While it may not be enough to secure them a playoff spot, the Steelers receive one more standout performance by their defense, just enough production from their offense and at least one splash play to give them a close win to cap off the regular season. And in true poetic fashion, don't be surprised if kicker , who has enjoyed a bounce-back season following his nightmarish 2018 campaign, delivering the game-winning points.  Steelers 13, Ravens 10 Click here Click here Click here
