The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to face the Baltimore Ravens with potential contributions from three former Ravens players: ILB Patrick Queen and S DeShon Elliott as starters, and OLB Jeremiah Moon as a rotational pass rusher.

- The Ravens are scoring over 25 points per game, but only have a 7-3 record.
- The Steelers’ defense allowed the Washington Commanders to score 27 points last week.
