BALTIMORE — Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey didn’t view the Pittsburgh Steelers as a hump Baltimore needed to get over, even though the AFC North rivals had won eight of nine matchups going into Saturday’s crucial divisional showdown at M&T Bank Stadium.

Baltimore has Houston on Christmas and the Browns in Week 18. Pittsburgh has Kansas City and Cincinnati. Really juicy finish coming. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and to compound matters the other three division leaders and the team immediately trailing them in the division all won in Week 15.

The Ravens still need some help. If the Steelers and Ravens win out, Pittsburgh would win the AFC North based on the third tiebreaker, which would be a better record against common opponents.
