Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry Hyped By NFL Fans as Ravens Win Wild Card vs. Steelers

Zach BacharJan 12, 2025

Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens started off strong and didn't look back during a 28-14 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Saturday night's Wild Card playoff clash between the two AFC North rivals.

The Ravens jumped out to a 21-0 lead at halftime, and the Steelers weren't able to overcome the deficit during the remainder of the contest.

Derrick Henry spearheaded Baltimore's offensive attack, as the AFC's leading rusher picked up 186 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries against Pittsburgh. This included a 44-yard score in the third quarter.

He fought through contact on multiple occasions, highlighted by a stiff arm on All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Jackson was also sharp, finishing 16-of-21 for 175 yards and two touchdowns without committing a turnover. His 76.1 completion percentage was a new playoff career high. He also rushed for 81 yards on 15 attempts.

Fans were amazed by the heroics of Jackson and Henry.

Baltimore's defense also made an impact despite failing to record a turnover, sacking Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson four times. Pittsburgh was limited to an average of just 2.6 yards per rush as a team, recording a mere 11 total first downs.

The Ravens have now advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs for the second consecutive season and will either play the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans depending on the winner of Sunday's postseason battle between the Bills and Denver Broncos.
