It is currently 31 degrees with a very light snowfall in Pittsburgh. The temperature is expected to slowly drop as the day turns into night. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. ET, and the temperature is expected to hover around 24 degrees, also with light snow showers.
Last week the weather favored the Steelers, who beat a West Coast team in the San Diego Chargers, 35-24. But there's no weather advantage Sunday as both the Steelers and Ravens are accustomed to cold weather and play similar styles.
Relatively speaking, the weather has improved significantly the past few days. Thursday morning, temperatures were in the single digits and the Steelers decided to practice inside with all of the doors open.
