In a totally dominating effort the Baltimore Ravens have swept their biggest rivals in their two meetings this year. And with a little help from the Colts they have taken the #2 seed and it looks like they will keep it and get the bye during the playoffs.

This whole game was controlled by the Ravens, beginning with a perfect 35-yard TD pass to Clayton by McNair and ending with Jamal Lewis’ 9th touchdown of the year. The Steelers had won five out of six and needed this victory, but the Ravens just destroyed their playoff hopes. In the two games against the Ravens this year, the Steelers have scored 7 points and Roethlisberger has been sacked 14 times. Pittsburgh just couldn’t get anything started and if not for some dumb errors on the Ravens’ part, this game wouldn’t have been as close as the 31-7 score indicates.

Clayton, Williams and Wilcox each got a touchdown in one of Steve McNair’s most productive game as a Raven. Now, with the offense playing very well together and the defense better than ever, the Ravens are prepared to finish off their schedule against Buffalo and make a run to the Super Bowl.
