Except it absolutely does have implications on playoff seeding. It's unlikely to come into play in a tiebreaker, but getting the win itself makes it that much less likely that tiebreakers matter. Worrying about tiebreakers over wins is putting the cart before the horse imo.
I wouldn't say the Steelers dominated from 1996-2000 (or even 1999). The Ravens were 3-7 against them in that period (2-6 removing 2000). They weren't the Jaguars (whom the Ravens infamously couldn't beat until Tony Banks threw 5 TDs in 2000).
Ravens-Steelers has always been fairly balanced. The Steelers have swept the Ravens 5 times: 2017, 2008, 2002, 1998, 1997. The Ravens have swept the Steelers 3 times: 2015, 2011, 2006. The other 16 series have ended in splits. So maybe the tide started turning in 2006? Of course, the Ravens continued to struggle against the Steelers in the playoffs, losing in 2001, 2008 (ooof, 0-3 against them that year), and 2010 (I hate this game), before finally defeating them in 2014.

This is what the thread should really be about. Its not about the Harbaugh era.
It's about the Lamar Jackson era.
Yesterday, the young 22 year old who was winning games with his legs and arm...won a game with something else...his will and leadership and his charisma.
Ray could will his team to win...Lamar grew up some and became without a doubt the leader and alpha that the entire rest of the team recognized yesterday and followed suit.
Yesterday, Lamar made the entire Ravens organization believe.
Now the Ravens have that confidence in their leader and will follow him anywhere.
Its a turning point in the Lamar era and you all are witnesses.“They gonna get a Super Bowl outta me. Believe that…Believe that”, Lamar, after being drafted by the Ravens.

I agree that Lamar is an Alpha and the Ravens organization believes in him. But...that didn't start yesterday. They believed in him last year. Which is why they left him in during the worst parts of the Chargers playoff game. It's why he's been the unquestioned leader in the offseason. It's why the Ravens traded Flacco.
The Ravens team and organization had complete buy-in with Lamar prior to yesterday's game. It's just the doubting fans and media that were finally convinced by the win in Seattle.

For me it was the 2010 game at Pittsburgh. After two years of handing off and riding the defense, Joe Flacco led a game-winning drive finishing with a pass to Houshmanzadeh. Knowing we could win that kind of game (after previous heartbreaking losses to Pitt in regular season and the AFCCn under Flacco) changed the culture in the Flacco era, and was the first step in the road to Super Bowl XLVII.
