Steelers Potential Divisional Round Schedule Revealed

The Steelers will travel to Baltimore if they knock off the Buffalo Bills on Monday. And if they happen to win that game, they will play on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. That would be the third meeting between the Steelers and Ravens on the season, and it will give them the mandatory six days of rest they must receive in the playoffs.

The Steelers won against the Ravens 17-10 in the first meeting in Pittsburgh and traveled to Baltimore against a watered-down group to win that game 17-7 to earn their way into the postseason. Now, they will get ready to face the Bills in wintry conditions that will decide if they end up facing their heated rivals once again.

It would be coming off one less day of rest than they would have had. But moving schedules is not foreign to the Steelers, and neither are shorter weeks, considering their unique schedule throughout the latter portion of the season.

The Steelers have had a playoff game moved recently due to weather. Their road playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs in 2016 was moved to a later time on the same day.

The last time the Steelers had a game move days was when their game against the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 was postponed multiple times due to COVID-19 issues on the Ravens. That game ended up being played on Wednesday afternoon.
