OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson's struggles against Pittsburgh have been well documented.
Now he'll finally have help he's never enjoyed before in this rivalry — from a packed stadium that's actually cheering for him.
This weekend's showdown between the Steelers and Jackson's Baltimore Ravens is only the second time the star quarterback has faced Pittsburgh at home. And the other was in 2020, with the coronavirus pandemic limiting the announced crowd to 4,345.
Expect a lot more than that Saturday, when the Steelers can clinch the AFC North with a win and the Ravens will do their best to prevent that.
