Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have had a disappointing season with an 8-8 record. However, thanks to the Pittsburgh Steelers, they are surprisingly still alive in the race to secure a playoff spot.
The AFC North has been one of the weakest divisions in the NFL during the 2025 season, and an unexpected loss by the Steelers in Cleveland has opened the door for the Ravens, who just a few weeks ago seemed destined for elimination.
The Baltimore Ravens were Super Bowl favorites alongside the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills, but injuries and inconsistent play caused three losses in four games between Weeks 13 and 16. Despite that difficult situation, a win over the Packers at Lambeau Field and the Steelers’ stumble changed the outlook.
