The Ravens clinch a playoff berth with a win against the Bills. It’s that simple. ,.... Baltimore can clinch the AFC North crown in Buffalo with a win and Steelers loss/tie. The Ravens can also clinch with a tie and Steelers loss. ......https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/ravens-playoff-outlook-including-six-clinching-scenarios-this-sunday

Just stay focused like a laser beam and keep winning!!!

Doesn’t one of these scenarios involve the sun, moon and earth all lining up ?

It's something like this....

 

As the possibility of being a #1v seed sinks in, with it comes some serious concerns.

#1 Lamar staying healthy. He carried this team on his back Sunday, took some nasty hits and some cheap shots. As more is at stake, how many cheap shots will be aimed at him?

#2. Run defense. This has to be real stout and tight or 50% of an opponents game plan will be accomplished...which is keeping the Ravens offense off the field and limiting their possessions. When this happens the Ravens are at most a 21-24 point scoring team.

#3 The WR's and medium to deep passing attack needs to exist.

You bet cheap shots will be taken at Lamar, not so much this week vs Buffalo. It's that Leaveland game that worries me.

And the Steelers.

Probably at the top of this list should be staying healthy for the whole team.

Every team is banged up this time of year. The Ravens are right there with them. A few keys players taken out will deep 6 their SB hopes. Guys like Brandon Williams. Humphrey, anybody on the O line,

Stealers maybe. Last game of the year, they probably have the 6th seed sewn  up by then.We've never closed a season vs Pitt could be interesting.

Would be nice to nock the Steelers from the playoffs; again. Depending on how things go in the next 3 games, I wouldn't be surprised to see RG3 start the Steelers game...

Beat Buffalo, a tall task, & then see where everyone else stands...

[GrubberRaven 84]

More worried with cheap shots with the Jets D being coached by that PoS Gregg Williams...

[oldno82 64]

Have you noticed the increase in opposing hits on Lamar's legs?

In the 49'ers game it seemed they went for his legs on every tackle.

He's got to go down earlier even if it means getting 7 yards instead of 10.
