Ravens remaining schedule
The Ravens face back-to-back division leaders in the final weeks of the season, drawing both the 49ers and Dolphins as both teams fight for a first-round bye.
Here's a look at every matchup remaining for the team in the regular season:

Ravens playoff chances
The Ravens clinched a playoff berth with their win over the Jaguars, so they are assured of a spot in the 14-team field.
The win also kept them just ahead of the Dolphins, who are also division leaders, with the Chiefs in third place. The Ravens by far hold the best position to this point, though things have gotten a bit crowded with Miami and Kansas City winning in Week 15.
The final few games of the season could make some key differences here.
