The New England Patriots are back in the win column thanks to a 28-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. The victory, which helped New England secure a spot in the NFL playoffs for the first time since 2021, was hard-earned and saw the team overcome an 11-point deficit in the early fourth quarter.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance to secure a playoff spot this weekend, depending on the outcome of two key games. They can clinch if the Baltimore Ravens lose to the Green Bay Packers on Saturday or if they beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Baltimore has taken a commanding double-digit lead after Derrick Henry notched his second rushing touchdown of the night. The Ravens cash in on the botched fake punt by the Patriots, and are surviving without Lamar Jackson thanks largely to Henry, who is up to 128 yards on the ground.
