Lamar Jackson, Ravens Impress NFL Fans with Rivalry Win vs. Russell Wilson, Steelers

For the sixth time in seven seasons, the Baltimore Ravens will be heading to the playoffs.

Lamar Jackson and the Ravens clinched a postseason spot on Saturday with a 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium.

Both AFC North teams were tied 17-17 in the third quarter, but a touchdown catch by Mark Andrews put Baltimore up by seven heading into the fourth. Marlon Humphrey picked off Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson and found the end zone early in the final period, giving the Ravens a two-score lead that they wouldn't relinquish.

Jackson wasn't flawless against Pittsburgh's sixth-ranked scoring defense, but he still made plays through the air and on the ground. He finished 15-of-23 for 207 yards and three touchdowns to go along with an interception. Jackson also picked up 22 rush yards on nine attempts.

Fans and former players alike were amazed by his performance.

Derrick Henry also made his presence felt throughout the contest, rushing for 162 yards on 24 carries. Saturday marked his fourth game of the season in which he surpassed 150 yards on the ground.

For the Steelers, Wilson dealt with inconsistency. He finished 22-of-33 for 217 yards and two touchdowns to go along with the pick six. The veteran signal-caller was also sacked three times.

Baltimore and Pittsburgh now own identical 10-5 records, but the Steelers still hold the top spot in the division due to a better record against conference opponents.

The AFC North crown is up for grabs with two regular-season games remaining for both squads, though.
