After Week 16, the Ravens' playoff hopes appeared slim: Baltimore blew a 11-point fourth quarter lead in a 28-24 loss to New England -- a game Jackson left in the first half after getting kneed in the back by safety Craig Woodson .

The Cleveland Browns (4-12) just pulled off one of the most improbable upsets in the regular season, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) at home by a score of 13-6, and in doing so, became a huge factor in forcing the AFC North into a photo finish race, even if they’ve been eliminated from contention for a while now.

The Browns had a chance to prevent the Steelers from clinching the AFC North on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field, and Myles Garrett needed one sack to set the NFL single-season record.

Despite the Steelers offense putting 6 points in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Aaron Rodgers has "full confidence" that Pittsburgh will win a winner-take-all division bout with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18.

Week 18 in the NFL is more important for some teams than others. There are divisions like the NFC South and AFC North that have yet to be clinched, while there are other teams that have already clinched playoff spots, and can rest their starters. The Los Angeles Chargers are one of those teams.
