Ravens Win AFC North Title, Defeat Cleveland Browns 26-24
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Ravens clinched a division win Sunday by defeating the Cleveland Browns 26-24 in a close game.
This will be the Raven's first appearance in the playoffs since 2014.
The Ravens moved into the top spot in the AFC North with their win against the Chargers last Saturday, and it was up to a win against Cleveland or a Steeler's loss to win the AFC North division.

The Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-13, meaning the Ravens had to win to get into the playoffs. This factor added some heat to the team in the final moments of the game, particularly as the Browns began to catch up before ultimately losing by two points.
Lamar Jackson got a lot of love Sunday afternoon, including from rapper Kodak Black, who was seen sporting the quarterback's jersey and cheering him on before the game, posted in a video by the Ravens.
