AFC Playoff Picture: Ravens move back into No. 4 seed after Steelers' loss to Bills

The Ravens are again regrouping and looking in the mirror after an embarrassing 32-14 loss to the Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium on Thanksgiving night. Baltimore turned the football over five times, with quarterback Lamar Jackson on the hook for three turnovers in one of his worst performances as a starter.

Joe Burrow threw two touchdown passes in his return to the lineup, and kicker Evan McPherson nailed six field goals on the evening to improve Cincinnati to 4-8 with a game against the Ravens in two weeks.

John Harbaugh's team spent Sunday afternoon watching the rest of the games featuring teams that didn't play on Thanksgiving Day or Black Friday. After starting the morning off in the tenth spot, the Ravens have regained the No. 4 seed and are tied with the Steelers atop the AFC North ahead of a massive Week 14 matchup in Baltimore at M&T Bank Stadium. James Cook had 32 carries for 144 yards, and Josh Allen made NFL history with his 75th rushing touchdown as the Bills defeated the Steelers 26-7 in Pittsburgh. Aaron Rodgers played the game with broken bones in his left wrist and suffered an ugly-looking nose injury in the loss.

His status for next Sunday will be worth watching.

With the Broncos (9-2) visiting the Commanders (3-8) on Sunday night football, here's a look at the updated AFC playoff standings with the Giants and Patriots set to meet on Monday Night Football.
