Lamar Jackson was never going to sit out the final game of the season against the pesky Steelers. When preparations begin for Wednesday’s practice, the Ravens’ star quarterback will be in attendance. Baltimore (8-8) After Derrick Henry amassed a career-high 36 carries, 216 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-24 win over Green Bay, John Harbaugh’s team is fighting for survival and clinging to playoff contention. The Ravens needed the Browns to beat the Steelers on Sunday to have a chance at a winner-take-all showdown against Pittsburgh in Week 18, and got the right return.
Tyler Huntley was extremely efficient without Jackson, matching Henry’s efficiency on the ground with eight carries for 60 yards. Henry’s effort dampened a big night for soon-to-be free agent quarterback Malik Willis.
