The AFC playoff picture doesn’t include the Baltimore Ravens

Zay Flowers came alive in the fourth quarter and the Baltimore Ravens rallied to take a late lead against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Then they relinquished that lead, but drove the length of the field to set up a game-winning field goal attempt. Tyler Loop pushed it wide right and the Baltimore Ravens are headed home.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fourth in the AFC and Baltimore is out of the playoffs.
