Besides being able to clinch their second AFC North title with the combination of a win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns at M&T Bank Stadium combined with the Cincinnati Bengals losing or tying the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, the Ravens have multiple other scenarios where they can clinch a playoff berth this weekend:
The Ravens can clinch with a win over
Cleveland or a tie, or if
Cincinnati loses or ties along with
Baltimore clinching the strength of victory tiebreaker over the New York Jets. Or,
Baltimore clinches if the Denver Broncos lose or tie and the Ravens clinch the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Jets. Or, the Ravens clinch if the Jets lose or tie along with
Cincinnati losing or tying, or if the Jets lose along with the Broncos.
Or, the Ravens can earn a playoff berth if the New England Patriots lose along with
Cincinnati losing or tying combined with a loss by the Jacksonville Jaguars or a
New England loss, a
Denver loss or tie and a
Jacksonville loss.
