The Baltimore Ravens have to win on Saturday night against the Green Bay Packers. If they lose their Week 17 clash, they will be officially eliminated from the playoffs.
Unfortunately, they won't have Lamar Jackson to lead them in this one.
Jackson was ruled out on the official inactive report 90 minutes before the game.
Starting in Jackson's place is Tyler "Snoop" Huntley.

Why is Tyler Huntley playing QB, not Lamar Jackson?
Huntley is starting in place of Jackson because Lamar is injured.
Jackson hurt his back a week ago, exited and didn't return.
He didn't practice all week, and he was listed as doubtful heading into Saturday.
The Ravens made it official about 6:30 p.m. ET that Jackson would be out.
So Huntley gets the start. He had a key win when Jackson was out with a hamstring injury earlier in the season. This would be an even more crucial victory if Snoop can pull it off.
Huntley will be backed up by Cooper Rush on Saturday night.
The Ravens will be hoping for a victory that gives meaning to their Week 18 game. And if they get it, maybe Jackson can get back next week.
