The Ravens galloped out to a 21-0 halftime lead in the game, before Pittsburgh was able to put up a little more of a fight. Baltimore got a fantastic performance from quarterback Lamar Jackson, who kept the Steelers defense off balance in the contest.

Pittsburgh’s rushing defense gave up the most yards in an NFL playoff game since 2012, when the Green Bay Packers allowed 323 in the NFC divisional playoffs.

The Ravens look like a solid contender in the AFC

The Ravens looked special in every facet of the game on Saturday night to make the AFC playoffs. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had one of his best postseason performances for the team.

Jackson finished the game with 175 yards passing, for two touchdowns. He also rushed for 81 yards on 15 carries, eluding the Steelers’ pass rush with ease. It didn’t hurt that the Ravens defense produced a shutout in the first half, completely dominating the Steelers’ woeful offense.

The star of the game, however, was Henry, who simply could not be denied. Henry rushed 44 yards for a touchdown early in the second half, essentially sealing the game for Baltimore. The Ravens finished the game with two touchdowns on 26 carries. He averaged more than 7 yards per carryembarrassing the usually stout Steelers defense.

“Losing sucks,” Steelers tight end TJ Watt said after the game, per ESPN . “Losing five in a row to end the season is bullshit.” I felt like we had a good week of preparation. I felt like we were ready for this. We weren’t. We couldn’t stop the race. I couldn’t stop the run. We haven’t been able to fix it. So it’s been a tough last month of football.”

The loss was absolutely painful for the Steelerswho haven’t won the playoffs in several years. The once-proud franchise, which hasn’t had a losing season in coach Mike Tomlin’s long tenure, appears stuck in neutral. Some Steelers fans are so frustrated they are calling for Tomlin’s firing. The coach’s fate will certainly be decided in the coming days.

Baltimore moves on to the next round of the AFC playoffs, where they will play either the Buffalo Bills or the Houston Texans. The matchup depends on who wins the Bills-Broncos game on Sunday.

The Ravens last won the Super Bowl in 2012.
