The Pittsburgh Steelers continued their winning ways in Week 16, putting further pressure on the Baltimore Ravens with a wild 29-24 win over the Detroit Lions in the Motor City in a game that came down to the final play. Meanwhile, the Ravens hosted the New England Patriots and stumbled after losing quarterback Lamar Jackson to a back injury, putting Baltimore further behind in the race for the AFC North, dropping a 28-24 decision to the Patriots, blowing a two-score fourth-quarter lead.
Earlier in Week 16, the Cincinnati Bengals went on the road and thumped the Miami Dolphins in meaningless football, while the Cleveland Browns dropped a tough one to the Buffalo Bills in Cleveland.
