Ravens Win AFC North, Eye Playoff Success

The Baltimore Ravens have clinched the AFC North title for the second consecutive year, overcoming a mid-season deficit to the Pittsburgh Steelers by winning their last four games, including a decisive victory against the Cleveland Browns. This turnaround was marked by a strong defensive performance, led by defensive coordinator Zach Orr, allowing an average of only 9.7 points per game over the last three contests. The Ravens' offense, bolstered by the acquisition of Derrick Henry and a standout season from quarterback Lamar Jackson, aims to make a significant playoff run. However, the team faces potential challenges with injuries, notably to Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers. The Ravens will host either the Steelers or Los Angeles Chargers in the wild card round, with their sights set on advancing past previous postseason hurdles.
