The Baltimore Ravens secured a decisive 31-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18 of the 2026 season, clinching a playoff berth with the win. With both teams vying for postseason position, the Ravens delivered a dominant performance at home, sending a strong message as they head into the playoffs. Lamar Jackson was the standout performer for Baltimore, throwing for 233 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his prolific ability to lead the offense. His precision in the passing game kept the Steelers' defense on their heels, while Eli Heidenreich led the ground game for Pittsburgh with 66 rushing yards, and Michael Pittman provided a spark in the receiving corps with 91 yards. However, it was Jackson's connection with his receivers that ultimately dictated the game’s tempo. Baltimore's defense was relentless, highlighted by Trenton Simpson's eight total tackles and Trey Hendrickson’s two sacks, which pressured the Steelers' offense throughout. Key interceptions from Marlon Humphrey not only stifled Pittsburgh's scoring opportunities but also shifted momentum decisively in favor of the Ravens. The game's turning point came when Humphrey's second pick set up a quick touchdown, extending Baltimore's lead and effectively sealing the outcome.
