A ton of playoff spots are still up for grabs in the NFL with three games to go, but Week 15 also saw a bunch of teams get eliminated from contention. The Kansa

While it was chilly in Cincinnati, the Baltimore Ravens were red hot throughout their 24-0 win that eliminated the Bengals from playoff contention. The win also evened Baltimore's record at 7-7 while keeping them within striking distance of the first-place Steelers in the AFC North standings.

Sunday Night Football in Week 16 is a massive piece of the AFC playoff puzzle, with the New England Patriots visiting the Baltimore Ravens. New England’s wheels are wobbling after blowing a 21-0 lead in a home loss to the Bills on Sunday. Baltimore, on the other hand, kept its postseason pace with a shutout of the rival Bengals.

"Lamar was the one we would certainly hold the plane for," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said with a smile. Jackson led Baltimore to a 24-0 victory over the Bengals on Sunday, and in many ways, this trip ended up being a course correction for the Ravens.

In shutting out Joe Burrow and the Bengals, the Ravens had their best performance of the season at a time when they couldn't afford a loss.

Robinson played for the first time since Week 6, returning from a broken foot to give a boost to Baltimore's pass rush. Cincinnati's first drive of the game took 8:20 off the clock, but Robinson sacked Burrow for a 15-yard loss to push the Bengals out of field-goal range.

The Ravens defense took a big blow in their win on Sunday. Linebacker Teddye Buchanan, who’s Baltimore’s second-leading tackler, suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
