Winners: Baltimore Ravens

They needed help to make the playoffs and they got it.

The San Diego Chargers (more on them in a second) choked against Kansas City, and the Cleveland Browns had already checked out for vacation, so Baltimore slides into the No. 6 spot and will face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday night.
