All that was left after this season of revival was to showcase it when it mattered most. Instead, they looked worryingly similar to the Chargers of old.
Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns in a flawless first half, Derrick Henry scored twice while leading Baltimore's devastating running game, and the Ravens beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-14 on Saturday night to advance to the second round of the AFC playoffs.
The Steelers showed some signs of life to kick off the third quarter of Saturday night's game in Baltimore, but the momentum shift came crashing to a halt.
The Ravens and Steelers have played a lot of close games over the years, but Saturday's Wild Card game in Baltimore is not shaping up to be one of them.
The Ravens used a combination of running and passing to score their first touchdown on Saturday, but they didn't need to put the ball in the air in order to extend their lead.
