Ravens plan to beat Raiders to enter playoffs

For the final game of the season, the Baltimore Ravens have only one thing to do: fix the mistakes they made in a frustrating loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and beat the Oakland Raiders, then it is all about postseason.

Despite being penalized 11 times for 113 yards, committing three turnovers and allowing four sacks in a 23-20 defeat against the Steelers on Sunday, the Ravens need only to win this Sunday’s game against the Raiders to reach the postseason for a second straight season. And in order to win that final and key game, the Ravens have to learn from the loss to the Steelers.

The first priority is to cut down on penalties. The Ravens have ranked first in the NFL with 1,057 penalty yards. If not the penalties, the Ravens would have already set for postseason by beating the Steelers. It is not anyway an easy job to get everything perfect within the one week before the finale, but they will try best with the die-hard eagerness to play in playoffs.
