For the Steelers, it would be their first division title since 2020, and the Ravens would win their third consecutive division title. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SMEGUAVGJNGGDBGTTXH4O2SK3M\">The Steelers started out the season hot, going 4-1 in their first five games before falling to 6-6. Three straight victories after that stumble had them set up to clinch the division last week with a Ravens loss or a win over the Browns, but the Steelers got neither to happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SX2XACH5BVEIZGH422GV3XR5ZU\">As a result, this game is now happening. The Ravens did their part in keeping their season going, knocking off the Packers 41-24 with a dominant performance from running back Derrick Henry on the ground. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"7QRB6SHHN5CT5HBNTGVYMT3TM4\">The Ravens started out the season 1-5, but have since surged to 8-8, improving each week to try, even with quarterback Lamar Jackson banged up throughout the season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"RLBPXKCW4FDPDHBFQ5D2UB7OXE\">The winner of the game will host the Houston Texans next week in the Wild Card Round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"CQ6AVHZSPBA7JFYDFWKUFHEDRI\">UPDATE: 7:20 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"AMKGZQSRNNBTFKJUN3E5PF3KYI\">UPDATE: 7:10 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH &#8212; The Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens are set to duke it out for the AFC North&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":77886,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[37870,7405,73,75,74],"class_list":["post-77885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-john-harbaugh","tag-mike-tomlin","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77885"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77885\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
