The big news for the Baltimore Ravens is they no longer lead the AFC North after their second loss in as many weeks. The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in front. Even bigger, the Ravens are now completely out of the playoff picture and there is a very hard road to the AFC wild card. But the Ravens and Steelers play again in Week 18, and it’s likely the loser of that game will be heading to Cancun for an early break.
The New England Patriots are on a bye, but the Denver Broncos passed them with their win.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won to stick in third place and their lead grew because they beat the Indianapolis Colts. Indy’s bigger loss was Daniel Jones, who is out for the rest of the season.
The Los Angeles chargers moved into the top wild card spot with their Monday night win. Next are the Buffalo Bills with their Week 14 win over the Bengals. The Colts lost and the Texans won Sunday, so Houston passes Indianapolis into a playoff spot. The Texans are now seventh.
The Ravens win the three-way tie with the Chiefs and Dolphins for ninth place, but that doesn’t mean much right now.
