Sunday's winner-take-all AFC North title game could turn into a significant inflection point for the league's longest-tenured head coaches. John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens will oppose Mike Tomlin's Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the 2025 regular season.

The Ravens' head coach doesn't know yet whether Jackson's back injury will allow him to play in Sunday night's regular-season finale.

“It's a great opportunity, we'll be playing a division championship game on Sunday," Harbaugh said. "That's what we're doing in last week of the season. We're excited about that, it's a meaningful thing, we've worked hard to get to this position.

Unless something wild happens in the next two weeks, Baltimore's 2025 season will be remembered as a colossal bust.

In the days leading up to the game, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke about what he sees from Green Bay's backup quarterback.

When healthy, Jackson is a two-time MVP and a player capable of leading the Ravens deep into the playoffs. Even so, writer Mike Preston said in a column for The Baltimore Sun that head coach John Harbaugh has “become tired” of Jackson despite building him up after every game. If he didn’t, “Jackson will go into his own self-exile,” Preston said.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh says he'll have a better sense Wednesday about quarterback Lamar Jackson's status for Sunday night's game at Pittsburgh that will decide the AFC North title.
