Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry take the Ravens into the playoffs over the Steelers

The Ravens are in the postseason and punch their ticket with a convincing 34-17 win over the Steelers. The question is: Can they win the division title?

Both teams are 10-5 after the Steelers missed a chance to win the AFC North on Saturday. The Steelers, who have lost three of their last five games, finish the regular season against the Chiefs and Bengals, while the Ravens play the Texans and Browns.

Russell Wilson had two costly turnovers, lost a fumble in the red zone and threw a pick-six. His first-half turnover at the end of a 19-yard run forced by Ar’Darius Washington and recovered by Kyle Van Noy prevented Pittsburgh from taking the lead in a game in which it never took the lead. Marlon Humphrey’s 37-yard interception return with 13:06 left ended the game for the Ravens.

The Ravens recovered all three fumbles and their only turnover was Lamar Jackson’s interception in the red zone, which preceded Humphrey’s interception return for a touchdown and a 31-17 lead.

Jackson threw three touchdown passes and Derrick Henry ran for 162 yards on 24 carries to lead the Ravens to victory. Jackson’s touchdown throws included 9 yards to Isaiah Likely, 14 yards to Rashod Bateman and 7 yards to Mark Andrews.

Jackson was 15 of 23 for 207 yards with a passer rating of 115.4. Zay Flowers caught five passes for 100 yards.

The Ravens outscored the Steelers 418 to 315.

Wilson was 22 of 33 for 217 yards with two touchdowns and the pick-six. He threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to MyCole Pruitt and a 12-yarder to Cordarrelle Patterson.
