The Baltimore Ravens watched their distant playoff hopes get pushed to the brink after their Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots. Their most realistic path to the playoffs was winning their last three games. Sunday’s loss means Baltimore not only needs to win their next two games but also will need some help to keep their 2025 season alive.
While the Ravens need to win out, the Pittsburgh Steelers must lose out. The two AFC North foes square off in Week 18, so if all goes right for Baltimore in Week 17, the regular-season finale will be a winner-take-all matchup for the division crown.
