The Baltimore Ravens will enter Week 18 knowing that a win over the Pittsburgh Steelers will send them to the postseason as division champs.
But lose, and the season is over.
It couldn't be any clearer cut than that.
To beat the Steelers, in an ideal world, Lamar Jackson would be suiting up, but with his back injury, many were concerned it could be Tyler Huntley against the Steelers.
Well, on Wednesday, Lamar hit the practice field in what is undoubtedly a good sign for this week.
Head coach John Harbaugh met with the media after practice and offered an update on his quarterback.
"He was full participation, looked good," Harbaugh said.

Is Jackson playing in Week 18?
There is still a lot of water to go under the bridge this week, and with another practice or two still to be navigated, but it does sound positive.
Of course, back injuries aren't exactly an easy thing to deal with, and if Lamar has any discomfort, it could be tricky to play in Pittsburgh.
But you have to think that if Jackson is a full participant on Wednesday, he will likely carry that same designation for the rest of the week.
In Baltimore's biggest game, it needs its star quarterback, and it looks like he'll be ready to go.
