BALTIMORE (AP) — This article originally appeared on SteelersNOW.com.

It’s another high-stakes game for the Steelers on Saturday. This week, they face AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens on the road.

STEELERS IN AFC PLAYOFF PICTURE

The Steelers clinch the AFC North with a win, and will remain in first place and in control of their own destiny with a win. The Ravens clinch a playoff spot with a win or with losses by the Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins. They cannot be eliminated, even with a loss.

STEELERS TRANSACTIONS AND INJURY UPDATES

The Steelers released outside linebacker Ade Ogundeji from their practice squad and signed offensive lineman John Leglue to their practice squad.

The team will be again without their top wide receiver, George Pickens. He’s missing his third straight week because of a hamstring injury.

Justin Fields will also not play due to an abdominal injury he suffered against the Eagles last week.

T.J. Watt, who injured his ankle against the Eagles, does not have an injury designation and is expected to play.

THE LAST TIME

The Pittsburgh Steelers turned three Baltimore Ravens turnovers into three Chris Boswell field goals, as the kicker did it all in an 18-16 rivalry victory to put the Steelers a game and a half up in the AFC North.
