BALTIMORE -- It won't feel this way after an ugly 23-16 win over the struggling Indianapolis Colts, but there is reason for the Baltimore Ravens to celebrate.
The Ravens (9-6) are now one victory away from clinching their first playoff berth since 2014. Baltimore has to beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular-season finale to earn a wild-card spot.
Now, the Ravens certainly didn't look like a playoff team against the downtrodden Colts (3-12). Playing as sloppy as the muddy field at M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore made it too hard on itself with dropped interceptions on defense and unfinished drives on offense against one of the worst teams in the NFL.
