PITTSBURGH -- The Baltimore Ravens' 39-38 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers was demoralizing and frustrating.
But, in the big picture, the last-minute defeat cost the Ravens 6.5 percentage points.
The Ravens still have an 82.8 percent chance of reaching the postseason with three weeks remaining, according to ESPN Analytics. Baltimore entered Week 14 with a 89.3 percent chance.
The reasoning is the Ravens control their fate and enjoy the easiest schedule of the three 7-6 teams. If Baltimore wins out, the Ravens beat out the Buffalo Bills based on common opponents and the Los Angeles Chargers based on conference record.
