The Baltimore Ravens are heading to the playoffs for the sixth time in seven seasons after securing a postseason berth with a 34-17 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium. This win solidified their position as a playoff contender in the AFC.

The match proved to be competitive, with both teams tied at 17-17 in the third quarter. However, a touchdown reception by Mark Andrews shifted the momentum, allowing the Ravens to lead by seven points heading into the final quarter. Defensive standout Marlon Humphrey further extended the Ravens' advantage by intercepting Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and returning it for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, giving Baltimore a two-score lead that they maintained until the end of the game.

Lamar Jackson's performance was instrumental in the Ravens' victory. Despite facing the challenges posed by Pittsburgh's sixth-ranked scoring defense, Jackson completed 15 of 23 passes for 207 yards, contributing three touchdowns, alongside one interception. Additionally, he added 22 rushing yards on nine attempts, reinforcing his reputation as a dual-threat quarterback. Meanwhile, Russell Wilson's play for the Steelers was marked by inconsistency, finishing 22 of 33 for 217 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, along with three sacks. With both teams now holding identical 10-5 records, the Steelers retain the division lead due to a better record against conference opponents. The race for the AFC North title remains tightly contested with two regular-season games left for both teams.
