Baltimore: The Ravens are heading to the playoffs after a solid 34-17 win against the Steelers. It was a great game, and now the big question is whether they can snag the division title.
Both teams ended up with a 10-5 record. The Steelers had a chance to clinch the AFC North but missed it. They’ve been struggling lately, losing three of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Ravens have a couple of games left against the Texans and Browns.
Russell Wilson had a rough day with two big turnovers. He fumbled in the red zone and threw a pick-six. That fumble was a game-changer, stopping the Steelers from taking the lead. Marlon Humphrey’s interception return pretty much sealed the deal for the Ravens.
The Ravens did a great job recovering their fumbles, and the only turnover they had was Jackson’s interception in the red zone. But that was right before Humphrey’s big play that gave them a nice lead.
Jackson was on fire, throwing three touchdown passes, while Derrick Henry ran for 162 yards. Jackson’s touchdown passes went to Isaiah Likely, Rashod Bateman, and Mark Andrews, showing off their strong offense.
He completed 15 of 23 passes for 207 yards, and Zay Flowers had a great game with five catches for 100 yards. The Ravens really outperformed the Steelers, gaining 418 yards compared to Pittsburgh’s 315.
On the other side, Wilson completed 22 of 33 passes for 217 yards, with two touchdowns and that costly pick-six. He managed to throw a couple of touchdown passes, but it just wasn’t enough.
