Ravens playoff scenarios: How Baltimore can clinch a postseason berth in Week 16

Ravens can clinch a playoff berth in Week 16 with win or Dolphins loss

The Ravens used the 35-14 win over the Giants as a get-right game coming out of the bye, and they’ll enter Week 16 against the Steelers with a chance to earn a playoff berth and keep their AFC North hopes alive.

According to NFL.com, Baltimore has a 99% chance of making the postseason this week, but it will need two scenarios to happen. 

Baltimore clinches a playoff berth with:

BAL win or tie
MIA loss or tie + IND loss or tie

In their final three games, Baltimore’s final three games are against Pittsburgh, Houston, and Cleveland. The AFC North would allow the team to move up in the seedings.

Ravens’ biggest X-factor player for Week 11 matchup with Steelers

Roger Rosengarten is Ravens biggest X-Factor in game vs. Steelers

Baltimore and Pittsburgh are set to meet on Sunday in one of the weekend’s biggest games. In one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries, 26 of the last 32 Ravens-Steelers games have been one-score affairs, including the past eight contests.

Since John Harbaugh’s first season as head coach in 2008, 18 Ravens-Steelers games have been decided by three or fewer points.

Sunday’s matchup should be no different, and the game’s biggest and most crucial matchup will feature Steelers All-Pro pass rusher matching up against Ravens rookie right tackle Roger Rosengarten.

Watt ranks among the top 8 active players in sacks (5th), tackles for loss (8th), QB hits (4th), forced fumbles (2nd), fumble recoveries (4th) and strip sacks (2nd). Watt’s 19.0 sacks led the NFL in 2023. He is the first player in League history to lead the NFL in sacks three times (2020, 2021 and 2023).

Since allowing a sack to the Chiefs’ Chris Jones on his first snap, Rosengarten has allowed just two more sacks in his 278 pass-blocking snaps, per Pro Football Focus. He’s coming off one of the season’s highest pass protection grades against the Bengals on Thursday night.

Rosengarten won’t indeed be a Raven until he defeats the Steelers, and Sunday offers that first opportunity.

Arthur Maulet breaks down why he’s not a Raven just yet

Arthur Maulet is 0-2 against the Steelers and said he can’t be a true Raven until Baltimore defeats Pittsburgh

Every player signed or drafted by Baltimore wants to play like a “Raven” or be designated one by fans and head coach John Harbaugh.

It’s a title earned, and for Arthur Maulet, he’s not quite there yet in his mind, nor are his head coaches. While addressing the media on Tuesday, Maulet stated, “I’m not a Raven yet,”

Last season, Maulet played in 14 games and logged 37 tackles, two sacks, two fumble recoveries, an interception, and five passes defended.

The 30-year-old Maulet will compete with Ar’Darius Washington for the slot cornerback role.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin jabs Ravens WR Diontae Johnson ahead of Week 11 matchup

Mike Tomlin says he hasn’t thought about Diontae Johnson when asked about Pittsburgh Steelers preperation for the Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens sent the Carolina Panthers a 2025 fifth-round pick in exchange for veteran wide receiver Diontae Johnson and a 2025 sixth-round pick. Johnson spent five seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, amassing 391 catches for 4,363 yards and 25 touchdowns.

He was selected to play in 1 Pro Bowl.

Now with Baltimore, Johnson hasn’t been much of a factor through two games, and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked about his former pass catcher. Being as blunt as he typically can be, Tomlin clarified that he wasn’t thinking about Johnson, with Baltimore having more important weapons to plan for.

Johnson has just one catch for six yards, and Tomlin’s comments come just hours after Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told the media that the wide receiver would have an increased role as we advance.

NFL sets kickoff time for Ravens-Steelers season finale in Week 18

The NFL just announced that the Baltimore Ravens will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday in the season finale

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.
