Today's loss is a lot more palatable with the steelers & bengals both losing. It guaranteed us no lower than 2nd in the AFC North.
So the Ravens are one win away or one loss away by Steelers and Bengals from clinching the AFC North? If that happens next week, that would mean two weeks to rest the weary for the playoffs. It's like two bye weeks in the playoffs.
