Pittsburgh is looking for some extra luck in a key matchup.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are calling on some extra help.
Before their game Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, a priest was seen blessing the field with holy water. The video was captured by Jenna Harner of WPXI, NBC's Pittsburgh affiliate.
Pittsburgh, 9-7, is hosting the Baltimore Ravens on NBC's Sunday Night Football for the last postseason spot left from either conference.
The winner will claim the No. 4 seed and host at least one playoff game, with the Houston Texans entering as the No. 5 seed.
If Pittsburgh and Aaron Rodgers gets the job done, fans will be able to point to what helped -- unless Lamar Jackson and Co. spoil the party.
Yeah ... I watched the Ravens game - went pretty good until they collapsed at the end. It’s a shame Pete Carroll got fired, he’s a great coach, loved him when he was coach of the Seahawks which is my fav team (living in the Seattle area) - my dad knows a pilot who flew as a Raven Forward Air Controller in ‘Nam (actually Laos) which is why we fav the Ravens.
That's like losing to the 1962 New York Mets or the 2024 Chicago White Sox.
I guess the Steelers heard that the Ravens don’t play well on a muddy field.
Not ridiculous.
Documentation of the use of holy water got back as far as the 5th century.
This is long before your Protestant tradition decided to; ignore 1500+ years of teaching, sacred tradition and practice.

Love It Madam.
Not communicating with you.
It worked! A miracle arisen in the last second.
Don’t care. You wouldn’t listen anyway.
But I’m not going to let you lie and mock sacred teachings without a challenge.
Here is the truth about holy water:
How does a mere human make water turn holy.
Roman Catholic Church is a fraud. They teach too many unbiblical things.
