Congratulations, Baltimore Ravens, you’ve passed the first test. You beat New York, and quite convincingly I might add. Onto the next hurdle: Pittsburgh.
The Ravens are a game out of first place in the division with three games to go. Beating the Steelers would give both teams a record of 10-5. Pittsburgh still has to play Kansas City next Wednesday. The division lead could be the Christmas present we’ve all been waiting for.
Though, I could be getting ahead of myself.
The Ravens have lost eight of their last nine against Pittsburgh. As sad as that is, there has been a common factor in many, not all, but many of those losses: Lamar Jackson’s availability.
