Baltimore Ravens. 12. team. 26. Recap: It was one of the more exciting games of the afternoon. And the Ravens came up with a one-point victory after thwarting the Eagles’ two-point conversion try in the final seconds. Once again, it was not a great game for the Baltimore defense. They allowed Philadelphia to run for 169 yards – 128 of those by running back Ryan Mathews. Quarterback Joe Flacco continued his erratic year. He threw for 206 yards and a pair of scores, but he was also sacked three times and committed two more turnovers. Running back Terrance West didn’t score a touchdown but he totaled 122 yards from scrimmage and led the team with four receptions in the victory. <p>Next Week: The Ravens look to remain perfect against their AFC North rivals this season when they head to Heinz Field looking for their second straight season sweep of the Steelers. Including a wild card win in 2014, Baltimore has taken four straight from the Black and Gold – including their last two appearances at Heinz Field.</p> <p>Playoff hopes: It’s pretty simple: The Ravens have to win next week to secure a sweep of the Steelers. A win by Pittsburgh gives Mike Tomlin’s club the division title. Baltimore would not be eliminated with a loss next week but will have to get some help, especially when it comes to someone knocking off the hot Miami Dolphins.</p>. 8-6. Previous:
