STAMFORD, Conn. – December 30, 2025 – It all comes down to this! The AFC North title and a playoff berth are on the line when four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) host four-time All-Pro Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens (8-8) in NFL Game 272 – the Week 18 edition of NBC’s Sunday Night Football. The Ravens-Steelers winner captures the AFC North championship, earns the No. 4 seed in the AFC Playoffs, and will host a game on NFL Wild Card Weekend.
Ravens-Steelers is the final game of the 20th season of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, which culminates with the presentation of Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., as NBC broadcasts its 21st Super Bowl, with live streaming coverage on Peacock and the Spanish-language telecast on Telemundo.
On Sunday, the Steelers aim to win the AFC North for the first time since 2020, while the Ravens play for their third consecutive division title. Coverage begins at 7 p.m. ET with a special on-site edition of Football Night in America followed by kickoff at 8:20 p.m. ET from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pa., on NBC, Peacock and Universo. FNIA marks its second consecutive season with the full studio team on-site for NFL Game 272.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh meet for the 65th time (including postseason) on Sunday night, with the Steelers holding a 37-27 advantage in the series. Sunday marks the 11th Ravens-Steelers game on Sunday Night Football, making it the most-played AFC matchup in the NBC SNF package.
This is the 40th meeting between head coaches Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh, with Tomlin winning 22 of the prior 39, including a 27-22 Steelers win in this season’s first meeting on Dec. 7 in Baltimore.
Baltimore needed a victory in Week 17 to stay in playoff contention, and defeated the Green Bay Packers, 41-24, on Saturday night in the Peacock Holiday Exclusive. Henry, a two-time NFL rushing champion, had a historic performance, rushing for 216 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 36 carries. Henry now has an NFL-record seven 200+-yard rushing games, breaking his tie with O.J. Simpson and Adrian Peterson (six apiece). Henry also moved past Pro Football Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett into 10th place on the NFL’s all-time rushing list. Quarterback Tyler Huntley started for the injured Lamar Jackson and led the Ravens on two scoring drives and nearly 12 minutes of possession time in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
Aaron Rodgers is 8-3 in 11 career regular season starts in January, with a 21-to-4 touchdown-to- interception ratio. Last week, in the Steelers 13-6 loss to the Cleveland Browns, he passed for 168 yards. Also on Sunday, Jaylen Warren rushed for 64 yards and tight end Pat Friermuth had 63 receiving yards.
Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), and Melissa Stark (sideline reporter) will call Ravens-Steelers. Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay is the rules analyst for all NFL games on NBC and Peacock.
