The victory clinched the AFC North title and the final playoff spot in the conference for the Steelers, who finished 10-7 and earned the No. 4 seed. Baltimore was eliminated with the loss.

Rodgers threw for 294 yards and one touchdown while completing 31-of-47 passes, connecting with Calvin Austin III for a key score. Kenneth Gainwell and Connor Heyward added rushing touchdowns.

Jackson finished with 238 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception while completing 11-of-18 passes.

Fans were stunned by Tyler Loop's missed field goal as Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers squeaked out the win.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were again without their leading receiver, DK Metcalf, who was suspended for the final two games of the season following an altercation with a fan in Week 16 at Detroit that violated the league's policy.

Pittsburgh trailed 10-3 at halftime after struggling to generate scoring opportunities in the first 30 minutes.

The Steelers opened the third quarter with a touchdown, then capitalized on a defensive interception to set up a field goal, taking a 13-10 lead into the fourth.

Both teams traded touchdowns in the final period before the Baltimore Ravens struck for a big open-field touchdown to regain the lead with just over two minutes remaining. Pittsburgh answered with a touchdown of its own, but Chris Boswell missed the extra point, leaving the Steelers down two with 55 seconds to play.

Jackson moved Baltimore into field-goal range in the final seconds, but Tyler Loop missed a potential go-ahead 44-yard attempt as time expired, allowing the Steelers to escape with the win.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to host the No. 5 seed Houston Texans in the first round of the playoffs.
