Sunday Night Football in Week 16 is a massive piece of the AFC playoff puzzle, with the New England Patriots visiting the Baltimore Ravens. New England’s wheels are wobbling after blowing a 21-0 lead in a home loss to the Bills on Sunday. Baltimore, on the other hand, kept its postseason pace with a shutout of the rival Bengals.

In shutting out Joe Burrow and the Bengals, the Ravens had their best performance of the season at a time when they couldn't afford a loss.

Robinson played for the first time since Week 6, returning from a broken foot to give a boost to Baltimore's pass rush. Cincinnati's first drive of the game took 8:20 off the clock, but Robinson sacked Burrow for a 15-yard loss to push the Bengals out of field-goal range.

The Ravens defense took a big blow in their win on Sunday. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan, who’s Baltimore’s second-leading tackler, suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

All the Steelers have to do is win in Week 18 against the Ravens to clinch the AFC North. If they do, they will be at worst 9-8, which would match the best possible record the Ravens could be with two wins against the Pats and Packers while losing to the Steelers.
