The Baltimore Ravens’ 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers has left the division race wide open. With both teams at 10-5, but the Steelers in first place due to tie-breakers, neither team can clinch the title in Week 17.
For the Ravens to claim the AFC North, they need the Steelers to finish with a record of 1-1 or 0-2 in their final two games. If both teams split their last two matches and end up 11-6, the division title will be decided by the divisional record tie-breaker.
The key factor is the outcome of home games against the Cincinnati Bengals (Steelers) and Cleveland Browns (Ravens) on January 5. The Steelers would need to lose at home to the Bengals, while the Ravens must win at home against the Browns.
Despite this weekend’s result, the Steelers still appear to be in a stronger position due to their overall performance throughout the season. However, with two games left and any outcome possible, anything can happen in the AFC North division title race.
