Baltimore Beatdown
The Baltimore Ravens won on Sunday to even their record and stay one game back of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North. It is still anyone’s ballgame.
The New England Patriots took over first place in the AFC with their Thursday night win. The Denver Broncos matched them at 9-2 but lose the tiebreaker. The Indianapolis Colts on a bye fell from first to third. The Pittsburgh Steelers won and stay in fourth place.
In the wild card, the Buffalo Bills won to pass the Los Angeles Chargers who lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars. All three teams are in wild card position but the order has now changed.
The Ravens are now in a three-way tie for eighth place, joining the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs. The Texans win that tiebreaker thanks to their AFC record. Then the Chiefs have the tiebreaker over Baltimore due to KC’s win over the Ravens.
The Las Vegas Raiders play on Monday night, but it won’t impact the playoff picture.
