Created: JANUARY 26, 2025

The Baltimore Ravens showcased their powerful rushing attack, amassing nearly 300 yards on the ground to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14 in their wild-card playoff matchup. Derrick Henry led the charge for Baltimore, carrying the bulk of the workload and finding the end zone twice.

The Ravens set the tone early with a 95-yard opening drive capped by a Lamar Jackson touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman. They continued to pound the ball on the ground, culminating in another scoring drive, this time finished by Henry. Just before halftime, Jackson extended the lead to 21-0 with a touchdown pass to Justice Hill, leaving the Steelers scoreless in the first half.

Pittsburgh showed signs of life in the second half, with Russell Wilson connecting with Van Jefferson for a touchdown. However, the Ravens responded immediately with a 44-yard touchdown run by Henry.

While Wilson managed another touchdown pass to George Pickens, the Steelers' comeback attempt ultimately fell short. The Ravens defense held firm in the fourth quarter, preventing Pittsburgh from closing the gap. Henry finished the game with 186 rushing yards, while Jackson contributed 81 yards on the ground and 175 through the air.

Baltimore now awaits its divisional round opponent, which will likely be the Buffalo Bills unless an upset by the Denver Broncos shakes up the playoff picture.
