Without playing a down Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens got a few ‘wins.’
Cincinnati rolling into Pittsburgh, and unexpectedly pulling the upset over the Steelers is a win for the Ravens. With the Bengals having the two head-to-head victories over Baltimore, the Ravens are not going to catch Cincinnati in the division race. Them beating Pittsburgh, will have the Ravens only 1 game behind Pittsburgh, as long as Baltimore takes care of the Browns tomorrow.
Being only 1 game behind Pittsburgh, with the 2 head-to-head games remaining, is about the best you can ask for at this point.
Additionally, Denver lost to Washington for their 3rd consecutive loss. With that loss, and the San Diego win, the Broncos and Chargers are tied for the AFC West lead at 6-3.
Again, as long as the Ravens can beat Cleveland tomorrow, Baltimore will be only 1 game behind both teams. Even better, is the fact that Ravens already have the head to head win vs. each. One of them will win the division and advance to the playoffs, but the other can be caught in the Wild Card race.
