Baltimore Ravens eclipse Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14 to advance in AFC play-offs
Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns and Derrick Henry ran in two on the ground to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 28-14 victory in their AFC wild-card play-off win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Ravens quarterback Jackson connected with Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill in the first half as Baltimore built up a 21-0 lead at half time.
Pittsburgh found the end zone at the start of the third quarter to keep the window open, but Henry’s second rushing touchdown of the game a few minutes later proved enough to ultimately get the Ravens over the line.
