The Baltimore Ravens dominated the Pittsburgh Steelers in their AFC wild card game, winning 28-14. The Ravens’ powerful running game, led by Derrick Henry, totaled 299 yards on the ground. Henry accounted for 186 yards on 26 carries and scored two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson also contributed 81 rushing yards and 175 passing yards, completing 16 of 21 passes.
The Ravens’ offense was unstoppable in the first half, scoring 21 points before halftime. The Steelers were unable to score until the third quarter, when Russell Wilson led a 98-yard drive that ended with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Van Jefferson. However, the Ravens answered with a 44-yard touchdown run by Henry, and despite a late score by the Steelers, they were unable to mount a comeback.
The Ravens’ victory sets them up for a potential matchup against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round. However, a surprise loss by the Bills to the Denver Broncos could send the Ravens against the Houston Texans instead.
