December 30, 2019 2:53 am

BALTIMORE (AP) — Slogging through the rain without several notable stars and with very little at stake the Baltimore Ravens relied upon a strong defensive performance to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-10 and finish the regular season riding a 12-game winning streak. Baltimore’s first touchdown followed a fumble by Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges, who was held in check the entire game. The Ravens also scored on special teams after Pittsburgh punter Jordan Berry dropped the wet football near his end zone. The Steelers finished the season with three straight losses and were eliminated from playoff contention.  Tennessee beat Houston, clinching the second wild card spot and finalizing the AFC playoff field. #1 Baltimore and #2 Kansas City will have first-round byes. #3 New England will host #6 Tennessee while #5 Buffalo travels to #4 Houston. The NFC teams have been determined but the final order of finish won’t be known until the end of Sunday night’s San Francisco at Seattle game. The schedule for Wild Card Weekend (Jan. 4-5) will be announced by the NFL on Monday. You can hear every playoff game and Super Bowl 54 on WJPA-AM (1450).
