The Baltimore Ravens are still alive in the AFC North race. After defeating the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, the Ravens got the help they needed from the Cleveland Browns, who defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to prevent them from clinching the division. Now, the Week 18 matchup between Baltimore and Pittsburgh will be a winner-take-all tilt, with the victor hosting a playoff game and the loser going home.
The Ravens didn't have the services of Lamar Jackson in Week 17 after he suffered a back injury against the New England Patriots in Week 16. This led to Snoop Huntley getting the start, and Derrick Henry taking over against the Packers with four touchdowns. And while many assumed this would just be a one-game absence for Jackson, Mike Florio isn't so sure.
Speaking on Football Night in America, Florio said it's "a shade under 50-50" that Jackson plays against the Steelers. If Jackson is unable to go, it will be Huntley under center again for the Ravens.
The Ravens have struggled at Acrisure Stadium, going 1-4 in their last five road games against Pittsburgh. Should they lose next Sunday, their season is over.
