NFL seasons are a marathon and not a sprint, and the Ravens (8-8) are clinging to their playoff lives after a 41-24 win over Green Bay that saw Derrick Henry amass a career high 36 carries, 216 yards rushing, and four touchdowns as Baltimore fights for survival. The Ravens need a Browns win over the Steelers on Sunday for a shot at a winner-take-all showdown against Pittsburgh in Week 18.
Playing without Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley was supremely efficient and matched Henry’s effectiveness on the ground with eight carries for 60 yards. Henry’s efforts foiled an outstanding night from pending free agent quarterback Malik Willis. Playing in relief of Jordan Love, Willis threw for over 350 total yards and three touchdowns for a Packers team that was looking to stay within striking distance in the NFC North.

With the loss, the Packers will be the NFC’s No. 7 and play a road wild card game against the two seed.
With preparation for the season finale set to begin, we’re looking at instant analysis of the
Malik Willis dominated the Ravens.
Putting his skills on display in front of several NFL teams that need a quarterback, Willis was 18-21 passing for 288 yards, one touchdown, zero interceptions, and a 134.6 rating. Willis logged nine carries for 60 yards and two rushing scores.
Derrick Henry has a monster performance.
At 8-8, Ravens stay alive in AFC North title hunt.
With win over Browns tomorrow, 9-6 Steelers can win division. But they’ll need to win without TJ Watt (lung) or DK Metcalf (suspension). Otherwise, headed for a Week 18 deciding game. https://t.co/1PqRDwTkVQ
