The winner of Sunday night’s Steelers-Ravens game will host the Houston Texans next Monday night in the AFC Wild Card Round, the NFL announced.
The Ravens lead the Steelers, 10-3, at halftime. The Steelers would clinch the AFC North and a playoff berth if the game ends in a tie.
Next Monday night’s Wild Card Game will be aired on ESPN.
In the AFC South, the Jacksonville Jaguars guaranteed themselves a home playoff date by beating the Tennessee Titans, 41-7. The Texans beat the Indianapolis Colts, 38-30, but the Jacksonville win means the Texans are locked into the No. 5 seed.
