Multiple results went the Baltimore Ravens’ way in Week 11.
Among them, the Philadelphia Eagles came away with a dramatic road win over the Kansas City Chiefs on "Monday Night Football." Thanks to the Eagles win on the day, the Chiefs dropped to the No. 2 seed in the AFC, while the Ravens moved up to the top seed in the conference.
It does not mean much to Lamar Jackson that the Ravens hold the No. 1 seed in the AFC at this point in the season. In the big picture, Jackson has bigger goals in mind.
"It's still a lot of season left to play," Jackson said during a press conference ahead of Week 12. "It doesn't really mean anything to me right now."
Not every player on the Ravens roster shares the same sentiment with Jackson on this matter. For Ravens linebacker Odafe Oweh, there is meaning to Baltimore having the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into Week 12, but he knows that it would not mean anything if the team fails to hold this spot by season’s end.
"It means something, but obviously we still have some games to go," Oweh said during a press conference ahead of Week 12. "On any given Sunday, anything can happen, but it's definitely a good sight to see that we're at the top right now, because of all the work that we've put in.
"We still have some more weeks to go. If it stays like that at the end of the season, then we can celebrate, but there's still some work to do."
The last time that the Ravens finished atop the AFC standings, they went on to lose to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Round. Now, Baltimore sure is looking to secure the top spot in the AFC and go on to pull off a deep playoff run.
