The Baltimore Ravens will head into a must-win Week 18 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers without their starting quarterback. Lamar Jackson won't be available once again due to his ankle injury, which means Tyler Huntley will get the keys to the offense.
#Ravens announce that Tyler Huntley will start Sunday vs. the #Steelers. Lamar Jackson is still nursing that nagging ankle injury.

The Ravens still have an extremely small chance of making the playoffs, but it's going to take a lot of luck. A victory is the only acceptable result, while the Colts and Chargers must lose. The Dolphins need to either tie or lose as well.
Jackson hasn't played since December 12th because of the ankle issue and that's really hurt Baltimore, losing five straight. They literally looked to be a shoo-in for the postseason until this awful cold streak.
However, Huntley hasn't done badly by any means. He's completed 67.5% of his passes in six games (three starts) and also thrown for three touchdowns. The versatile Ravens QB has rushed for 222 yards on the ground for another pair of TDs as well. Injuries have undoubtedly been the downfall of this team across the last month but let's hope they can at least finish the year on a high note against Pittsburgh. Huntley will need to put his best foot forward while Jackson watches from the sidelines.
