Eric Weddle believes no other NFL team will want to face the surging Ravens in the playoffs after they moved to the verge of clinching a post-season berth by beating the Chargers.
The Ravens improved to 9-6 after an impressive 22-10 victory in LA, and a win over the Browns in Week 17 will ensure they are still relevant in January.
Baltimore could yet win the AFC North, and will be in control of that division if the Steelers fail to beat the Saints on Sunday.

"I know for a fact no one wants to see us, I know that."
The Chargers' postseason berth had already been confirmed but their loss hampered their chances of pipping the Chiefs to the AFC West title.
That means they could be in action on Wildcard Weekend, potentially against the Ravens in Baltimore.
"It's a good defense, and they outplayed us," Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.
"Depending on what happens, we may get another crack at them in two weeks."
