The NFL playoffs kick off next weekend with 14 teams vying for an appearance in Super Bowl 59. The Wild Card round of the playoffs will include the Baltimore Ravens hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the Green Bay Packers.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni caught a lot of flack this week for choosing to keep his players healthy and benching them during the season finale against the New York Giants on Sunday.
The Ravens’ first-round playoff opponent is a familiar foe. Baltimore will play the Pittsburgh Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium in next weekend’s wild-card round. The date and time for the game have yet to be announced by the NFL.
Baltimore's costly injuries in a division-clinching win highlight the risks of playing stars late in the season — and validate Philadelphia's cautious approach with Saquon Barkley and key starters
Eagles fans who ripped the team for resting Saquon Barkley for Week 18 painfully watched the injuries in the Ravens-Browns game.
Following his confirmed absence in the matchup against the Giants, the record held by Saquon Barkley for the Philadelphia Eagles in this NFL season could be broken by Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry.
With the Ravens winning the AFC North title on Saturday, that means playing a first-place schedule in 2025 for the second year in a row.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will head to Baltimore in a Saturday night clash to face the Ravens. As the NFL revealed kickoff times, the Steelers and Ravens will get the 8:00 p.m. Saturday slot, with the game airing on Amazon Prime Video. The game will air on a local affiliate; however, who will broadcast the game has not yet been revealed.
The Green Bay Packers will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the 3:30 p.m. timeslot on Sunday, Jan. 12 during the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend. FOX will broadcast the game.
