NFL scores, live updates: Ravens look to lock up AFC North with Week 18 win over Cleveland

January 4, 2025

The AFC North title was decided after the Baltimore Ravens’ 35-10 win over the Cleveland Browns earlier Saturday, but the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals still have plenty to play for.

For the Bengals, it’s trying to stay alive in the NFL playoff race. Even with a win, the team’s record will need losses by the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins on Sunday to be able to play next weekend, though they’ve lasted longer than anyone expected a few weeks ago. They are currently on a four-game win streak after starting 4-8.

For the Steelers, it’s a matter of their preferred wild-card opponent. A win would mean facing on the road the Houston Texans, who have been flailing lately and are in the playoffs through the grace of a down AFC South. A loss and a win by the Los Angeles Chargers means going to Baltimore, where they lost 34-17 two weeks ago.

And, of course, there’s always pride between AFC North rivals.
