Book your playoff tickets – the road to the Super Bowl goes through Baltimore.
Albeit after a shaky start, the Baltimore Ravens routed the perennial loser Cleveland Browns on the way to their 13th win – tying a franchise regular-season record – and guaranteeing yet another Browns losing season (they’re the only team this decade to not record a winning season).
They locked up the playoffs two weeks ago, locked up the AFC North last week, and now they’ve locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, giving them a first-round bye and the oh-so-important home-field advantage – not to mention the ability to rest their banged-up starters against the rival Steelers in Week 17.
