The Ravens are division champions and the top seed in the AFC, and now John Harbaugh’s crew will spend the next few days trying to figure out how to keep the Steelers out of the playoffs.
The NFL just announced that the season finale at M&T Bank Stadium will be played on Saturday afternoon as part of a double-header.

The Texans and Colts will face off on Saturday night, with both teams having a shot at the AFC South title, depending on what happens with Jacksonville.
Baltimore could rest critical starters and contributors while knowing that the Wild Card Weekend bye would mean the team may go almost a month without any significant game action.
The last time John Harbaugh’s group took that approach, they were upset at home by the Titans in the divisional round of the playoffs.
