The Ravens enter week 18 with a record of 8-8 and on a five game losing streak. After the Bengals clinched the AFC North on Sunday, the Ravens only hope of making the playoffs for the fourth straight season would be as a wild card. The Ravens will matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 18, but a win against the Steelers will not be enough for the Ravens to secure a spot in the playoffs.
