The Ravens and Browns are AFC North enemies, but they’ll be on the same team Sunday.<\/p>\n
With the Ravens’ 41-24 win in Green Bay, they’re still alive in the AFC North race. If the Browns beat the Steelers on Sunday in Cleveland, it will force a winner-take-all game next week in Pittsburgh between the Ravens and Steelers. If not, the Ravens are eliminated from the playoffs for the first time since 2021.<\/p>\n
“I’m going to pray as soon as I get on the plane, when I get home in the morning, when I wake up,” running back Derrick Henry said after running for four touchdowns and 216 yards in Lambeau Field. “Hopefully, we get blessed for the opportunity to have to play for something Week 18.”<\/p>\n
Tyler Huntley, who had a clutch performance stepping in for injured Lamar Jackson (back contusion) to beat the Packers, couldn’t wait to get on the phone with his former Browns teammate Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n
“I’m trying to make it out of here, so I can call Shedeur really quick and make sure he gets it done,” Huntley said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
There’s only one spot still up for grabs in the AFC playoffs and it’s between the Ravens and Steelers.<\/p>\n
While the Steelers (9-7) are certainly the favorite on paper against the Browns (3-12), there’s reason for hope.<\/p>\n
The Browns have won the past three games against the Steelers in Cleveland. Myles Garrett is going for the all-time single-season sack record. The Steelers are playing without top receiver DK Metcalf, who is serving a two-game suspension for a scuffle with a fan last week, and star pass rusher T.J. Watt.<\/p>\n
In a celebratory Ravens locker room in Green Bay, Head Coach John Harbaugh invited players over to his house to watch the game on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“I’ll probably be watching that game pretty closely, but it’s out of our control,” Harbaugh said. “We understand that. We did our part, and we have another game next week that we intend to go win, regardless of what happens, and that’s our job. That’s what our guys will be thinking about.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ravens and Browns are AFC North enemies, but they’ll be on the same team Sunday.
