Baltimore Ravens' Steve Smith may have dressed for a party, but he's not in a very festive mood ahead of a grudge match with the Steelers

Baltimore Ravens are getting into the Christmas spirit, particularly Steve Smith, who used the weekly press conference to dress for the occasion.

Kitted out dressed as Buddy from the film 'Elf', Smith addressed the media on Wednesday afternoon.

Speaking about the Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry, the veteran wide receiver managed to keep a straight face throughout the press conference.

"There's a professional hate with each other. The Pittsburgh-Raven rivalry is pretty fierce, pretty intense.

"It's been that way for a long time. Our fans hate them, their fans hate us. It's a perfect divorce."

This isn't the first time Smith has donned an unusual outfit for his media duties. Earlier this year, Smith greeted the press in a Yoda onesie, ahead of the Ravens' game with the New England Patriots.

Richard Graves makes his week 16 predictions against the Indianapolis Colts UK fan base.

The 8-6 Ravens travel to play the Steelers on Christmas day, live on Sky Sports 1, with the AFC North title on the line. A win for Pittsburgh (9-5) would secure their 22nd division title, while victory for Baltimore would set up tied records going into the last game of the season.
