Do I need an Amazon account to watch Steelers-Ravens? How to stream wild card game

The NFL playoffs begin with a six-game wild card weekend slate. The second game of the round features a divisional contest in the AFC bracket between the No. 3 seed Baltimore Ravens and the No. 6 seed Pittsburgh Steelers.

The two teams have played twice this season, most recently in Week 16 when the Ravens won 34-17 at home. They'll be in Baltimore again to start the playoffs and fresh off a four-game winning streak to close the regular season. The Steelers, meanwhile, dropped their last four games in a row entering the postseason.
