Ravens return to practice field hours after 34-17 win over Steelers

The Baltimore Ravens play the Houston Texans on a short week and return to the practice field hours after a win over the Steelers on Saturday

The Ravens are chasing greatness. With the team looking to secure the AFC North title, John Harbaugh’s team is back on the practice field just hours after a thrilling 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.

Baltimore will be featured in the Netflix Christmas Day slate of games, meaning the team has Sunday and Monday to prepare before departing for Houston on Tuesday.

With such short notice, the Ravens will return to practice less than 16 hours after a physical matchup against the rival Steelers.

Baltimore clinched an AFC playoff berth after a convincing 34-17 win over Pittsburgh at M&T Bank Stadium. The Ravens and Steelers are tied atop the division at 10-5, and Mike Tomlin’s team would win if they finished with the same record thanks to a tiebreaker featuring common opponents.

The Steelers, Chiefs, and Texans are likely following similar practice schedules.
