The Baltimore Ravens came away from Week 12 still in possession of the No. 1 seed in the AFC. The Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars each held the top seed in the AFC at one point over the past few days, but in the end, it is John Harbaugh’s squad that remains atop the conference standings thanks to its road win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not paying much attention to the playoff standings at this point in the season.

Jackson said last Tuesday that the Ravens holding the No. 1 seed in the AFC "doesn't really mean anything to me right now." The sixth-year passer still has this same mindset because he is eyeing a much bigger prize.

"Getting to the Super Bowl is the goal, but we’re just going to take it a week at a time," Jackson said after the Ravens’ win against the Chargers. "That’s all we can do. 

"We can’t worry about the No. 1 seed or anything like that. It's the NFL, anything can happen any given Sunday, Thursday, whenever you play, Monday. We just have to keep focusing, keep trying to win these games because it’s a tough league."

The Ravens will have an uphill battle ahead of them over the remainder of the season. Baltimore will finish its regular season schedule with four straight games against teams that currently hold a winning record, including a road matchup against the Jaguars on "Sunday Night Football" in Week 15.

The Ravens have their long-awaited bye week coming up in Week 13.
