NFL Saturday: Baltimore Ravens one win from playoffs

Baltimore linebackers C.J. Mosley and Za'Darius Smith made key stops to help the Ravens hold on for a 23-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.

The victory makes it possible for Baltimore to earn a spot in the AFC playoffs by beating the Cincinnati Bengals in its regular-season finale on New Year's Eve.

The Colts threatened to tie the game when they blocked a punt to take possession at the Baltimore 27-yard line with 2:36 left to play.

On the first play after the two-minute warning, Mosley tackled Indianapolis running back Frank Gore for a 3-yard loss on a second-and-3 snap from the Ravens' 10.
