With a 21-13 win in Oakland, the Baltimore Ravens have made it back to the playoffs. They will travel to Foxborough, Massachusetts to take on the New England Patriots in the first-ever playoff meeting between the two teams.

Even though neither team's seed is set, the matchup will take place regardless of the outcome of tonight's Bengals-Jets game:

• If the Bengals win, the Patriots will have the #4 seed and the Ravens will have the #5 seed.
  


• If the Jets win, the Patriots will have the #3 seed and the Ravens will have the #6 seed.

Also, the NFL will have a new champion this year. Because of Baltimore's better record against divisional opponents, the Ravens win also eliminates the Steelers from playoff contention. Pittsburgh finished the season with a winning record, but in the end, they have some sloppy losses to some of the AFC's worst teams to look back on as the reason they will not be able to defend their title in the postseason.
