The Baltimore Ravens once again delivered in a primetime game this season.
The Ravens cruised to a 23-7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on "Sunday Night Football." Baltimore had multiple keen contributors on both sides of the ball in the contest. Among them, Lamar Jackson tallied a game-high 97 rushing yards, and Justin Madubuike chipped in with a game-high four quarterback hits to go along with one strip-sack.
The Ravens will head into Week 16 still holding the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and thanks to their win on Sunday, they now boast a 3.0-game lead over the current AFC South leaders in the Jaguars in the conference standings. They did not create further separation away from the AFC East-leading Miami Dolphins and the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs in the conference, as they each notched a win in Week 15.
If the season were to end today, the Ravens would receive the lone bye in the AFC. The Dolphins, who are currently in possession of the No. 2 seed in the conference, would meet the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC wild-card round.
The Ravens are now looking ahead to a pivotal road matchup against the San Francisco 49ers coming up in Week 16.
Ravens clinch playoff spot after statement win against Jaguars
