AFC North standings: Steelers look to bounce back in Week 12
Cleveland Browns (6-5) vs Baltimore Ravens (7-3), Sunday at 8:20 P.M. ET
This is going to have huge playoff ramifications when this season ends. The Ravens will secure the AFC North division with a win here at home without officially completing the task. It will be a tough division lead to lose if they can find a victory here.
They played gutsy last week with a backup quarterback against the Bears. It was a tough road game under odd circumstances but they were able to find a way to win the game. Good teams always find ways to win football games and Baltimore has been doing that most of 2021.
The good news for this home club in this fight will be having Lamar Jackson back. He makes a huge impact on the field whenever he is in the lineup. He should be able to take advantage of the injuries on the Browns team and score points. They have a depleted unit that Jackson should be able to scramble and make explosive plays against.
The biggest issue for Baltimore is they will be playing a team with all the fight in the world. The Browns have their backs up against a wall and they need this win. If they lose, then their playoff hopes start to dwindle. These division matchups are very important right now.
