OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) – The Baltimore Ravens’ effort to reach the postseason now includes this undesirable exercise: scoreboard watching.
An unexpected 25-13 loss in Houston on Sunday left Baltimore with a 9-6 record and in need of some help to get into the playoffs.
Had the Ravens beaten Houston, then defeated Cleveland at home this Sunday, they would be in the postseason for the sixth time in seven years.
By losing to the Texans, Baltimore lost any chance of winning the AFC North and assured itself of opening on the road if it does reach the postseason.
For the Ravens to get in, they first must beat the Browns. Then they have to root for San Diego to lose at Kansas City or have the Cincinnati Bengals drop their final two games.
