Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens will look to advance to their second-straight Divisional Round when they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL playoffs on Saturday night.
The Ravens and Steelers both had opposite endings to the regular season. Baltimore enters the postseason on a four-game winning streak, all of which came by double-digits. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has lost its last four games, including one to the Ravens.
Before the game, Jackson, the Heisman winner out of Louisville, was seen walking into the tunnel with his latest pregame outfit. Jackson went with an all-black ensemble consisting of a black hooded jacket, a black beanie, and black pants with a red patch on the left thigh.

NFL fans were quick to make their jokes on social media, saying Jackson went with an all-black look for the potential "Steelers funeral."
"My glorious king wearing all black for Steelers funeral and the start of the Super Bowl run," one fan said.
"Dressed like he's attending a funeral. Love it," added another.
"Lamar Jackson came in his funeral all black out fit the Steelers are dead," wrote a third.
"All black? RIP Steelers," chimed in a fourth.
"funeral attire yessuh," commented a fifth.
"Funeral Service Fr," posted another.
Jackson has put up another MVP-caliber performance this season, considered one of the top two candidates going into the NFL playoffs, including Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
In 17 games, Jackson has completed 316-of-474 passes for career-highs of 4,172 passing yards and 41 touchdowns. He has also added 915 yards and another four scores on the ground. If Jackson does, in fact, win the 2024 NFL MVP award, it would be the third of his career.
