Baltimore and Pittsburgh are both 10-5, and the Ravens clinched an AFC playoff berth after a convincing 34-17 win over the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium.
Baltimore had lost 8-9 to Pittsburgh but used a strong performance from their defense and 162 yards from Derrick Henry to stay in the race for the AFC North title.
Henry averaged 6.8 yards on 24 carries, while Lamar Jackson was 15-23 passing for 207 yards (9.0 avg), three touchdowns, one interception, and a 115.4 rating.
