Instant analysis of Ravens 34-17 win over the Steelers in Week 16

The Ravens clinched an AFC playoff berth after a convincing 34-17 win over the Steelers at M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore and Pittsburgh are tied atop the division at 10-5, and the Steelers would win if they finished with the same record thanks to a tiebreaker featuring common opponents.

Both teams will turn around on four days of rest as the Ravens will face the Texans, while the Steelers will face the Chiefs, with both games being played on Christmas Day.

With Week 16 complete, here's an instant analysis of the big win.

Wilson hits Patterson, who was tightly covered by Harrison, for a 12-yard touchdown. Steelers tied it at 17 at the 5:14 mark of the third quarter.

With Pittsburgh badly needing a play, Russell Wilson led an eight-play, 88-yard touchdown drive, capping it with a 14-yard TD to Patterson, tying the game at 17. Midway through the third quarter, Wilson was 16-21 passing, 188 yards, 2 TDs with no Pickens.

Wilson played his worst game as a Steeler, going 22-33 passing for 217 yards (6.6 avg), two touchdowns, and one pick-six interception to Marlon Humphrey that essentially put the game away.

Lamar Jackson was 15-23 passing for 207 yards (9.0 avg), three touchdowns, one interception, and a 115.4 rating.

Midway through the fourth quarter, Henry had six rushes of 10+ yards on the afternoon and finished with an explosive 162 yards. Henry averaged 6.8 yards on 24 carries.
