Thanks to a fifth straight win and an ugly Pittsburgh Steelers loss in Week 12 on the road against the Chicago Bears, the Baltimore Ravens have taken the lead in the AFC North.
Just five weeks ago, the Ravens looked dead in the water after getting off to a 1-5 start and dealing with an injury to star quarterback Lamar Jackson.
But they’ve turned it around entirely, reeling off five straight wins, including a 23-10 win over the New York Jets Sunday, to move to 6-5 on the season. Though the Ravens share the same record as the Steelers at 6-5, Baltimore is 2-0 in the division while the Steelers are 2-1, giving Baltimore the tiebreaker atop the division.
