Rams (6-6) on Sunday (Dec. 10, 1 p.m.). At 9-3, the Ravens and
Dolphins each own the AFC's top records, although Miami
currently stands as the No. 1 playoff seed due to a winning
percentage in conference play tiebreaker.

Ravens have one divisional battle remaining, when they host
Pittsburgh in Week 18 (date/time TBD).

under head coach John Harbaugh.
- With five games to play, Baltimore has already clinched its 12th
winning season during Coach Harbaugh's 16 years at the helm.
