Around the NFL weighed in on the nature of the victory:

As The Boston Globe's Ben Volin pointed out, John Harbaugh's squad, which is locked in as the No. 6 seed, will face one of its two AFC North adversaries in the Wild Card Round, depending on how Sunday Night Football plays out:

It has been a bumpy ride for the Ravens, who lost two of their first five games and struggled to put away undrafted rookie quarterback Connor Shaw and the Browns on Sunday. But they know as well as anyone, it only matters how you play in January. Just two seasons ago, Baltimore went from a wild-card contender to Super Bowl champion behind sizzling-hot play from Joe Flacco. 

Flacco will once again have to be at the peak of his game, but the Ravens can rest assured they are one of the more balanced teams in the league. They have Football Outsiders' 11th-ranked offense and eighth-ranked defense. 

After a rare absence in 2013, Harbaugh has his team back in the playoffs once again and searching for another Super Bowl.
