NFL Thursday Night Football takes place tonight with the Pittsburgh Steelers going on the road to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens.
Tonight's big football game starts at 8.25 p.m. EST and takes place at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network and NFL Network, and is also available to watch online through live stream via the link provided below.
The Ravens will be desperate to win tonight's game, having list their opening match up to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Falling to 0-2 within a week of the season starting would be disastrous, so they already are feeling the heat and today's game will feel like a must-win for them.
However, things will be tough – they are fighting against their AFC North rivals today, and there will be no mercy from the Steelers, who will not hesitate to plunge the Ravens into emergency mode right at the start of the season.
Some Ravens fans might think it's too early to panic, however, since 1990, when the NFL switched to a 12 Playoff team system, only 23 of the 196 teams making the postseason managed to recover from an 0-2 start to the season. That works out at less than 12 percent of teams who start 0-2 make the Playoffs – there is a lot at stake here tonight for Baltimore.
A loss tonight would also be a slightly deeper hole than it appears on the surface, as their divisional record would also be 0-2, so they would be making life very difficult right away if they have hopes to gain the divisional title this season.
