Tyler Huntley will take Lamar Jackson’s position for the Ravens against the Steelers.

The Baltimore Ravens have locked up the No. 1 spot in the AFC playoff picture. As a result, John Harbaugh revealed that Lamar Jackson will sit out Week 18 and Tyler Huntley will get the start against the Pittsburgh Steelers, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

‘John Harbaugh announced Lamar Jackson will not play in the regular season finale. Tyler Huntley will start.’

Mason Rudolph, the Steelers’ starting line-up despite Kenny Pickett’s injury being ruled out, will take on the Ravens.

Entering the last week of the regular season, the Ravens are 13-3. Lamar Jackson is having an MVP-caliber season, throwing for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns and then rushing for another 821 yards and five scores.

With five throwing touchdowns in the rout of the AFC’s second-seeded Dolphins, the Ravens recently pulled off an incredible 56-19 triumph.

Huntley has played in just three games this season for the Ravens and has gone 6-of-9 for 57 yards and two scores, with one of them coming in garbage time against the Dolphins and the other against the Seattle Seahawks on November 5.

The Steelers, who are 9-7, are vying for an AFC playoff berth. In the final week of the season, a lot of different things may happen.

The Buffalo Bills are 10-6 and presently the 6th seed, and the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, and Steelers are all knotted with equal 9-7 records.

However, Jackson finishes his MVP-caliber season with staggering stats, and both the Ravens and he should be favorites to win the MVP award.
