In an intense AFC North showdown, the Pittsburgh Steelers edged out their bitter rivals, the Baltimore Ravens 26-24, securing both the division title and a coveted playoff spot with just seconds left on the clock. This dramatic victory marks the Steelers' first division title in five years, sending shockwaves throughout the NFL landscape.
With only 55 seconds remaining, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led his team down the field, culminating in a 26-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III that proved to be the decisive factor in the game. However, Baltimore's Tyler Loop had one final chance to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, but his 44-yard field goal sailed spectacularly wide of the post.
The back-and-forth contest saw multiple lead changes throughout the fourth quarter, with four shifts in fortunes occurring between the 11th and 16th minutes of play. A thrilling sequence of events that kept fans on the edge of their seats as both teams fought tooth and nail for supremacy.
In a remarkable display of resilience, Steelers running back duo Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren combined for an impressive 173 total yards, ultimately contributing to the team's triumphant victory. Meanwhile, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, despite dealing with a painful back contusion, put up an impressive performance, passing for 238 yards and three touchdowns.
With this win, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin has now tied Hall of Famer Chuck Noll for ninth place on the NFL's all-time list for most regular-season victories. As the franchise looks to continue its playoff momentum, a thrilling matchup with the Houston Texans awaits in the first round of the playoffs on January 13th.
For the Ravens, this defeat marks their season finale and an early exit from contention, raising questions about coach John Harbaugh's future at the helm. Despite an impressive performance by Jackson, Baltimore will have to regroup and refocus for next year, with the AFC North title now lost to the Steelers.

The Steelers are on fire right now and I'm loving every minute of it! Aaron Rodgers is on a roll and Calvin Austin III is my new favorite player 
. That last-minute touchdown pass was insane! And can we talk about Ravens QB Lamar Jackson for a sec? He's still putting up big numbers despite that back injury 
. I'm worried about Baltimore though, they gotta regroup and refocus if they wanna make a deep playoff run 
. But congrats to the Steelers on their division title and playoff spot! They're gonna be tough to beat in the playoffs 
. Mike Tomlin is a genius coach for sure

, I mean, their first division title in five years is a massive achievement, but at the same time, can you believe Aaron Rodgers played for them? Like, I know he's been out of the league for ages, but still... 
It's just crazy to think that Lamar Jackson was dealing with a back contusion and still put up an insane performance, 238 yards and three touchdowns is no joke! 
but sad for ravens season is over already 
they gave it their all, but jackson's injuries got the best of him this time 
hopefully next yr they'll bounce back stronger 
I'm still on a rush after that game! Steelers totally deserved that win 
! It'll be interesting to see how the Ravens bounce back from this loss, but for now, they can't do much about it 
. Bring on those playoffs - I'm hyped for the matchups ahead! 
, he still put up a sick game despite the injury 
, now he just gotta keep it going in the playoffs 
! The Ravens have some tough decisions ahead 
, but I got faith in Mike Tomlin & co 
, they'll be back stronger next season 
Ravens were so close but 4 yards away 
, Jackson's still a beast despite that injury 
. And can we talk about Lamar Jackson's performance? I know he got hurt, but still 3 TDs? 
! That final drive by Rodgers was pure magic 
. Can't believe the Ravens came so close, only to have it slip away 
is this some kind of joke? Ravens had such a great chance at that last minute but Tyler Loop's kick just sailed over
