Following the Baltimore Ravens' decisive 34-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, securing their spot in the playoffs, Head Coach John Harbaugh took a moment to address something more significant than football: the spirit of Christmas.

Harbaugh shared a passage he'd read to his team, quoting Mary, mother of Jesus: "My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior." He extended Christmas wishes to everyone, emphasizing the importance of rejoicing in all circumstances – wins, losses, and life's challenges. He encouraged love and togetherness, especially during the holiday season, reminding everyone that life is about more than just football or worldly concerns.

The Ravens' victory against their division rivals carries significant weight, as it keeps their AFC North title hopes alive. Quarterback Lamar Jackson, who improved his record against the Steelers to 2-4 as a starter, highlighted the team's hard work and resilience throughout the season, emphasizing the win's significance as a step in the right direction. Jackson also notched his league-leading 37th touchdown during the game.

The win leaves the Ravens tied with the Steelers in the division standings. Both teams face crucial Christmas Day matchups, with the Ravens playing the Houston Texans and the Steelers facing the Kansas City Chiefs.
