AFC Playoff Picture entering Week 14: Ravens-Dolphins battling for top spot

Baltimore and Miami will meet in Week 17, and the matchup could ultimately determine the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.

Until then, both teams will continue navigating a challenging AFC gauntlet that’ll see the Ravens face the Rams, Jaguars, and 49ers before hosting the Dolphins and closing with the Steelers.

Miami’s schedule has fewer landmines, with matchups against the Titans, Jets, Cowboys, Ravens and Bills.

Baltimore and Jacksonville control their own destiny, and with Week 14 preparation underway, we’re updating the AFC playoff picture.
