The Baltimore Ravens have dealt with a tough fight in the AFC South, but they have slowly pulled away from the rest of the division. They head into Week 15 having won seven of their last eight games to take a two-game lead over the Cleveland Browns. They have also taken a one-game lead in the race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
While they cannot yet clinch the division title or the top 1 seed yet, Baltimore can punch their postseason ticket in Week 15. They travel to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday Night Football. A win and some help will clinch a playoff berth.
Saturday update: The Colts beat the Steelers and the Lions thumped the Broncos. That sets it up so the Ravens clinch a playoff berth with a win.
