Semana 16 de la temporada regular de la NFL y los Pittsburgh Steelers visitarán Baltimore para enfrentar a los Ravens en lo que será el duelo divisional más importante de la temporada porque puede significar el campeonato del Norte de la Conferencia Americana para el equipo.
"Es una oportunidad de conseguir un campeonato divisional esta semana. Estamos emocionados. Respetamos este proceso y la preparación que conlleva. Vamos a reflejar nuestra emoción en hacer los necesario para llegar preparados al partido", palabras de Mike Tomlin en conferencia de prensa.
Pittsburgh es líder divisional por un juego de ventaja sobre Baltimore y a pesar de que el equipo ya aseguró un lugar en la postemporada de la NFL, será muy importante el desenlace de este partido contra el rival divisional directo en competencia.
El partido pasado fue apretadísimo, un típico duelo entre estos dos equipos. Los Steelers salieron victoriosos en esa ocasión 18-16, en un partido en el que se ganó con seis goles de campo de Chris Boswell. Las circunstancias se acomodaron para lograr salir con la victoria en esa ocasión pero la ofensiva tendrá que dar un buen partido para poder asegurar la W.
No hay receta secreta o un misterio oculto sobre lo que nos enfrentaremos el próximo sábado. Lamar Jackson y Derrick Henry son los dos jugadores más peligrosos de la ofensiva. Los Steelers vienen de parar a Saquon Barkley en el juego terrestre pero la ofensiva secundaría no tuvo su mejor tarde. Será vital no perder de vista especialmente a las alas cerradas de Baltimore y hombres como Zay Flowers que siempre representan una amenaza.
Las defensivas siempre son protagonistas en estos partidos, no nos sorprenda un juego de pocos puntos con varios intercambios de balón y como suelen ser los partidos en la NFL y en especial en las rivalidades del norte de la Conferencia Americana, quién cometa menos errores usualmente es quién se lleva la victoria.
Este partido lo van a poder seguir a través de NFL Game Pass en México el próximo sábado 21 de diciembre a las 3:30pm y por nuestro sitio completamente en español con las voces de Álvaro Martín y Arturo Carlos.
Here we go!
