Steelers-Ravens: Playoff berth or playoff bust!
5 Jan
Summary
- Winner claims AFC North title and playoff spot.
- Ravens coach John Harbaugh's future is uncertain.
- Mike Tomlin has one year left on his Steelers contract.
The upcoming Steelers-Ravens game carries immense stakes, as the victor will secure the AFC North championship and a coveted playoff berth. For the Ravens, the outcome may also influence the future of head coach John Harbaugh, who has been with the team for 18 seasons. Reports suggest his position is less secure than some believe.
While speculation has focused on Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, ESPN's Adam Schefter indicated that Harbaugh's situation warrants more attention. Harbaugh, the second-longest tenured coach in the NFL, has a regular-season record of 180-112. His team's performance this season has been a remarkable turnaround after starting 1-5.
Tomlin, the league's longest-tenured coach at 19 years, has one year left on his contract and is expected to fulfill it. Despite recent fan calls for his dismissal, he is on the verge of a division title, suggesting he will likely remain with the Steelers for at least another year.
