Do you think the Ravens are thinking more about eliminating the Steelers or staying healthy for the playoffs?
I think it’s all about staying healthy. While Baltimore has already said they’ll be resting five players for this game, I’d expect significantly more won’t ever see the field and those that do will see a decrease in snaps. It would make sense for the Ravens to keep in some type of rhythm but to risk the guys that got them to this point would be foolish. Losing a player like tight end Mark Andrews or cornerback Marlon Humphrey would seriously hurt Baltimore’s chances in the postseason for a game that ultimately means very little to this team. Don’t get me wrong, making sure the Steelers are knocked out the playoffs and sweeping them would be fantastic but the ultimate goal of any team isn’t to sweep their division rival but to win a Super Bowl.
