With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss and the Baltimore Ravens’ win, the AFC North remains very much in play. The Steelers still control their destiny, and will do so whether they win or loss on Saturday. But this rematch between the Steelers and Ravens suddenly means a whole lot more.
With the Steelers now with just a one-game advantage, and three games to go, they do have to win two more games if the Ravens were to win out. That would make the Christmas Day game against the Chiefs a must-win, which is a daunting assignment. But if the Steelers simply beat the Ravens, they win the AFC North.
