The Baltimore Ravens have emerged as the dominant force in the AFC, securing both the AFC North title and the top seed in the conference with a resounding 56-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. This achievement marks the first time since 2019 that the Ravens have clinched both feats, capping off a successful regular season for head coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Lamar Jackson.

With their win against the Dolphins, the Ravens not only secured the AFC North title but also ensured home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. Additionally, they secured the only bye in the conference, granting them a week of rest before kicking off their postseason campaign.

The Ravens' path to the conference's top spot was paved by an impressive 13-3 record. They have been on a roll lately, stringing together six consecutive victories, including wins against playoff-bound teams like the San Francisco 49ers and the Dolphins. This remarkable run has showcased the team's formidable talent and the leadership of coaches and players alike.

While celebrating their fifth division title in Harbaugh's 16-year tenure, the Ravens are determined to avoid a repeat of their disappointing 2019 playoff performance. Last year, they suffered an unexpected upset loss to the Tennessee Titans in the Divisional Round, cutting their postseason journey short. The team is eager to rewrite their postseason narrative this time around and go all the way to the Super Bowl.

Looking ahead, the Ravens face a crucial matchup against their archrivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, in Week 18 to wrap up the regular season. As they prepare for their playoff run, the team will need to make decisions regarding whether to maintain their momentum and keep their starters in the game or rest key players for the next two weeks.

The Ravens' accomplishments this season have positioned them as the team to beat in the AFC. With their potent offense led by the electrifying play of Lamar Jackson and a formidable defense, they will be an intimidating force in the playoffs. Ravens fans are eagerly anticipating their team's deep playoff run and hoping for a triumphant return to the Super Bowl.
