The Baltimore Ravens picked up a pivotal victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 17, as John Harbaugh's squad saved their season on the road with a stellar performance.
Derrick Henry dominated on Saturday, as the superstar running back rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley, who was filling in for Lamar Jackson, also did just enough to aid in the win.
Baltimore's victory over Green Bay moves them to 8-8 on the year, and keeps them alive in the AFC North.
AFC North standings
1. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-6, will play Browns in Week 17)
2. Baltimore Ravens (8-8)
3. Cincinnati Bengals (5-10, will play Arizona Cardinals in Week 17)
4. Cleveland Browns (3-12, will play Steelers in Week 17)
The Ravens are still in contention for the division. If the Steelers fall to the Browns on Sunday, Week 18's matchup between Pittsburgh and Baltimore will decide the winner of the AFC North.
However, if the Steelers do pick up the victory over the Browns, the Ravens' chances of winning the AFC North will be dead, along with their playoff chances.
AFC playoff picture
Baltimore is still in the hunt for the postseason. However, they will be eliminated from playoff contention with a Pittsburgh win in Week 17, as previously mentioned.
For the Ravens, Week 18 could be completely meaningless or the biggest game of the season. We'll see how it plays out.
