Ethan Price: "Metcalf's 133 yards on 4 catches decided it—Pittsburgh's ability to stretch the field vertically while Baltimore managed only 199 passing yards made the difference in a game that should've belonged to a team that nearly doubled Pittsburgh's rushing output."

Steelers did what they needed to, 28-21. Drew Allar was steady for Steelers — 13/20, 301 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT. DK Metcalf was the target for Steelers — 4 catches, 133 yards, 1 TD. Derrick Henry is in form — 90 rushing yards a game over his last three, against a season average of 58. Through the air: Steelers 301, Ravens 199.

Talia Morgan: "Cleveland turned the ball over 7 times and couldn't stay on the field — Taylen Green threw 6 interceptions, and that's not a sustainable way to play quarterback in this league."

Baltimore beat Cleveland 24-14 in week 16 on the strength of ball security and passing efficiency. The Ravens committed just 3 turnovers while the Browns gave it away 7 times, a disparity that decided the game entirely. Lamar Jackson completed 19 of 34 for 292 yards and 2 touchdowns against 2 interceptions, while Mark Andrews caught 7 passes for 131 yards and a score. Baltimore's defense applied consistent pressure with 3 sacks, and the Ravens finished with 431 total yards to Cleveland's 267 in a lopsided afternoon.

Take care of the football or lose. Buccaneers did not, and did. Lamar Jackson threw for Ravens — 15/22, 248 yards, 3 TD. Nnamdi Madubuike got after the quarterback for Ravens — 3.5 sacks. Total yards: Ravens 344, Buccaneers 157.

124 points, and Ravens had more of them, 68-56. Lamar Jackson did the damage for Ravens — 21/29, 480 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT. Lamar Jackson carried the load for Ravens — 7 carries, 132 yards, 3 TD. Lamar Jackson's high-water mark for the year. Through the air: Ravens 480, Chargers 183.

Baltimore dismantled Jacksonville 49-28 in a performance that looked far worse for the Jaguars than the 21-point margin suggests. The Ravens accumulated 485 yards to Jacksonville's 206, dominated on the ground with 192 rushing yards against 50, and crucially turned the ball over 0 times while forcing 2 giveaways. Lamar Jackson completed 15 of 22 for 293 yards and 3 passing touchdowns while adding 91 rushing yards and 2 more scores, and Derrick Henry caught 5 passes for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns. Jacksonville's offensive collapse is real—147 passing yards per game over the last 3 weeks against a season average of 230—but the Jaguars also abandoned any semblance of a ground game, throwing on 75 percent of plays while managing just 50 rushing yards total.

Ravens took the ball away and took the game with it, 41-27. Lamar Jackson threw for Ravens — 18/27, 290 yards, 6 TD, 1 INT. Joe Burrow did the damage for Bengals — 15/28, 251 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT — in a losing effort. A season best for Zay Flowers. Total yards: Ravens 363, Bengals 318.
