The New England Patriots aren’t in the habit of doing the Baltimore Ravens a favor. The Patriots losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers was a bad result for the Ravens. If the Steelers lost, the Ravens would have moved into first place in the AFC North, with the Saints up next for the Steelers. Now the Ravens must win out, and see the Saints beat the Steelers to win the division.
The wild card has taken turns that don’t favor the purple and black. If either the Titans or Colts win out, the Ravens would need 10 wins to get the sixth seed in the AFC postseason.
