The Bengals did what they had to do to give themselves a chance at making the playoffs.

This is the fifth postseason game between the teams. The Steelers won in the Divisional Round in 2001, the AFC Championship Game in 2008 and the Divisional Round in 2010. The Ravens were victorious in the Wild Card Round in 2014. This will be the first postseason game in the rivalry to be played in Baltimore.
