Date: [Insert Date]
(Baltimore, MD) – The Baltimore Ravens secured the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs with a commanding victory over the Miami Dolphins. As the regular season comes to a close, the Ravens have made the decision to rest key players, including star quarterback Lamar Jackson, in their final match against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the outcome of the game being irrelevant to the Ravens, this move aims to prioritize player health ahead of their playoff run.
The absence of six players, including Jackson, has been confirmed for the Ravens’ last regular-season game. Coach John Harbaugh wants to ensure that his star players are fully rested and ready for the playoffs. Despite this, the team remains confident in their backup players to rise to the occasion and deliver a strong performance.
Notably, the Ravens defense is facing some concerns as five defensive backs are listed as questionable for the game. Cornerbacks Brandon Stephens, Arthur Maulet, and Ronald Darby, as well as safeties Kyle Hamilton and Ar’Darius Washington, may be sidelined due to injuries. Furthermore, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, safety Daryl Worley, and outside linebacker Malik Harrison will also be absent from the field.
On the Steelers’ side, safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and Trenton Thompson, along with linebacker Elandon Roberts, are listed as questionable. However, Roberts has confirmed that he will play despite his injury. Linebacker T.J. Watt and defensive tackle Cameron Heyward were limited in practice but are expected to be on the field for the Steelers.
While both teams have players missing practice or limited in their participation, the majority are anticipated to suit up for the game. The Ravens, who have their playoff position secured, have no stakes in this final matchup. In contrast, the Steelers are still fighting for a playoff berth and have various scenarios in which victories and losses of other teams could help them secure their spot.
As the Ravens rest key players and the Steelers fight to keep their playoff hopes alive, all eyes will be on the final game of the regular season. Football fans eagerly await the outcome of this clash between two AFC powerhouses as the playoffs draw closer.
