Steelers-Ravens: Baltimore clinches playoff berth and keeps Pittsburgh from winning AFC North crown
- For the third straight year, Baltimore is heading to the postseason. And with a win over Pittsburgh, the AFC North is now in play for the Ravens as well: Both teams are 10-5, with two games left in the regular season.
- Despite the huge Zay Flowers play, the Ravens fell short of the end zone, but Justin Tucker hit the 23-yard field goal to give Baltimore a 34-17 lead.
- Lamar Jackson and Zay Flowers keep things going for the Ravens, getting a huge 49-yard completion in the fourth quarter. Flower breaks out of a tackle — and a foot hold — to gain a few extra yards on the play.
- With the catch, Flowers has hit 1,000 receiving yards this season — one of six players to have hit the milestone so far this year.
- It’s been a big day for the Baltimore defense, as Ravens outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy gets another sack on Russell Wilson on the way to forcing Pittsburgh to punt. Van Noy now has 10.5 sacks on the season, marking a career high for the linebacker.
- Two plays after the Steelers got the ball back with Minkah Fitzpatrick’s interception, Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey returned the favor, intercepting Russell Wilson for a pick-six.
- The pick is Humphrey’s first career pick-six, and it comes at an opportune time for Baltmore, who grows its lead to 31-17 in an increasingly chaotic game.
- Minkah Fitzpatrick picks off Lamar Jackson in the red zone, running 25 yards to get Pittsburgh the ball back at the 33-yard-line.
- It’s Jackson’s first interception since the Ravens’ Week 11 loss to the Steelers.
- It’s been a massive game for Derrick Henry.
- The Ravens got the ball back after Russell Wilson’s long pass on fourth down was unsuccessful, and Henry worked quickly, picking up a 45-yard run. Henry has rushed for 133 yards so far this game.
- Lamar Jackson finds right end Mark Andrews down the middle for a touchdown, retaking the lead. It’s now 24-17, Baltimore.
- Russell Wilson threw to running back Cordarrelle Patterson for a touchdown, with Patterson able to pull in the catch and hold on to the ball under pressure. Suddenly, we have a tie game in Baltimore.
- Russell Wilson throws a bomb to Calvin Austin III, who gets the catch with a well-placed toe tap and brings Pittsburgh all the way down the field.
- Pittsburgh’s defense gets the stop as the Ravens fail to get the first down near midfield. After a Baltimore punt, it’s Steelers ball at their own 13 — with the chance to try for the comeback.
- The second half of Steelers-Ravens is underway, and although Pittsburgh starts with the ball, they go three-and-out and are forced to punt. Slow start to this half so far.
- Baltimore has been outrushing Pittsburgh by nearly 50 yards, but Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson has picked up more passing yards. The Ravens are also holding strong on possession in this matchup so far.
- Pittsburgh follows up Baltimore’s 51-yard field goal with a 51-yarder of its own, closing in on the Ravens’ lead to close out the first half.
- It’s now Baltimore 17, Pittsburgh 10 at halftime.
- Justin Tucker has struggled mightily this season, but converts today, nailing a 51-yard field goal to give the Ravens a 10-point lead.
- Van Noy picked up a half sack with Nnamdi Madubuike, halting the Steelers’ drive and forcing Pittsburgh to punt. It marks a career high in sacks for Van Noy, with 9.5 sacks this season.
- The Ravens defense was pumped after that play.
- After leading the team all the way down the field, Lamar Jackson threw a beautiful 14-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman, giving Baltimore a 14-7 lead.
