Ravens Defeat Steelers 34-17, Stay in Division Race

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 34-17, allowing the Ravens to clinch a playoff berth and tie the Steelers atop the AFC North with identical 10-5 records. Lamar Jackson threw three touchdown passes, while Marlon Humphrey's interception return sealed the victory for Baltimore.
