OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens are headed for a showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a Christmas Day matchup with all sorts of playoff implications.A victory puts the winner on the cusp of a division title while the loser will likely be on the outside of the Wild Card race, needing help to get in the postseason.The Ravens have won the past four matchups against their archrival and should be unfazed by the thousands of Terrible Towels waving at Heinz Field. Baltimore, however, would also likely need to beat Cincinnati in the regular-season finale to win their first AFC North crown since 2012.The situation we find ourselves in is something that weve been working hard for, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. Our guys have been fighting like crazy to go to Pittsburgh and then onto to Cincinnati to try and win a division championship. Theyve earned the right to do that and were fired up about it. We cant wait to play the game.With a victory over Pittsburgh, Baltimore (8-6) would sweep the season series and take over first place in the division. The Steelers (9-5) would clinch their seventh AFC North title with a win against Baltimore. Pittsburgh closes out its regular season with a home game against the winless Cleveland Browns.The players for Baltimore are energized by the challenge of playing the Steelers in what is sure to be a raucous crowd.This is what you live for, Ravens safety Eric Weddle said. Its all the hours, all the sacrifice, all the time, its for a chance to win the division and get into the dance. You hope and dream every day youre getting up at 6 a.m. or 5 a.m., you dont see your kids -- its for this chance, and its all worth it. Well be ready to roll, (theres) nothing more out there for us (than) to have a chance at the division against a rival team. Its going to be amazing.One key for Baltimore over the final two weeks of the regular season will be establishing a more balanced offense. Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco has attempted 579 passes, while the the team has run the ball 325 times, ranked 27th in the NFL.The emphasis on throwing the ball almost ended Baltimores postseason hopes Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.It appeared the Ravens were about to put the game away when Flacco found receiver Mike Wallace for a 54-yard gain with just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter. With a 10-point lead, Baltimore could have just run the ball and settled for a field goal from the reliable Justin Tucker.However, Flacco threw an interception on the next play that helped Philadelphia get back in the game. The Ravens eventually stopped a 2-point conversion with four seconds remaining to preserve the 27-26 victory.Harbaugh said the decision to throw the ball was the all-time worst call ever. Flacco, however, defended the aggressiveness of offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.Well, you can say it all you want but, I mean, to be honest with you, my thought was `shoot, Marty is going to give me a third touchdown pass on the day, said Flacco, who was 16 of 30 for 206 yards with two touchdowns and the interception. I was kind of happy about it at that point, I mean, being selfish, but youve got to just to take care of the football and its a non-issue.Nonetheless, the Ravens earned the victory. Now, they control their own destiny for the postseason after a one-year hiatus.We want to win a Super Bowl, so we have to go through Pittsburgh next week to get there, running back Kenneth Dixon said. Thats what were going to do. Were going to go prepare and do our best.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL . Detroit Lions Jerseys . Andreas Johnson had a goal and two assists while Jacob de la Rose also scored for Sweden (2-0-0). Esa Lindell and Rasmus Ristolainen replied for Finland (1-1-0) Lindell opened the scoring for Finland just 41 seconds into the game, but the hosts quickly regained their composure and tied the score less than four minutes later on Wennbergs first of the game. Austin Bryant Jersey . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. http://www.authenticnfllionslockroom.com/Customized/ .ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Jahlani Tavai Lions Jersey . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday. Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout. Calvin Johnson Jersey . Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. NSW selection adviser Bob Fulton has stood down from his post, Blues coach Laurie Daley said on Monday.Fulton has long been a part of the Blues State of Origin set up and will oversee his last match in Origin III next week.One of the most influential men in the NRL, Fulton informed Daley of his intentions over the weekend.I had a yarn to him on Saturday, he has a big role at Manly, he is going to be a lot more hands on there and needs all his time with them, Daley said at the naming of the Blues side for Origin III at ANZ Staadium.ddddddddddddHe informed me he was stepping aside, he has been a massive influence on me and a great help and we will certainly miss him, he said.We have one game to go and hopefully we can win not only for the team and for the people of NSW but give Bozo a farewell he deserves.With Fulton gone, NSW powerbrokers might bring back a selection panel to help Daley with his team choices from 2017.
