After going down 24-20, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers led the offence down the field for six to go up 26-24 with 55 seconds remaining (missed extra point).
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed a fourth-down pass to tight end Isaiah Likely with 14 seconds left in the game. But kicker Tyler Loop missed what would've been the game-winning field goal.
Take a look below at how the playoffs stack up.
AFC
No. 1 Denver Broncos - first-round bye
Denver's win over the Los Angeles Chargers granted them their ninth No. 1 seed in franchise history, giving them home-field advantage up until the Super Bowl.
They finished the year with a 14-3 record and the best pass rush in the NFL, putting 68 total sacks. No other team in the league had more than 60.
Denver finished the regular season with the best home record in the NFL at 8-1.
No. 2 New England Patriots vs. No. 7 Los Angeles Chargers
Once the Broncos clinched the top seed, New England officially put claim to the No. 2 seed as they finished a 14-3 record - their best since 2016 when they finished 14-2.
It was also the same year they won the infamous Super Bowl after being down 28-3 to the Atlanta Falcons. They're led by quarterback Drake Maye, who is currently second on our NFL MVP tracker behind the Rams' Matthew Stafford.
As for the Chargers, they finished the year 11-6, making it back-to-back seasons with 11 wins in each of head coach Jim Harbaugh's two years with the team.
No. 3 Jacksonville Jaguars vs. No. 6 Buffalo Bills
Jacksonville heads into the game riding an eight-game win streak and their first AFC South title since 2017, also their third in franchise history.
Meanwhile, the Bills are entering their sixth-straight playoffs after coming off a home win in the franchise's final game at Highmark Stadium as they get ready to move across the street to their new home next season.
No. 4 Pittsburgh Steelers vs. No. 5 Houston Texans
The Steelers are coming off their first AFC North title since 2020 and have now won 10 games in three straight seasons.
They'll be taking on a Houston Texans team that currently holds the best winning streak in the NFL, sitting at nine-straight wins heading into the playoffs, also repping the No. 1 defence.
NFC
No. 1 Seattle Seahawks - first-round bye
Seattle is heading into the playoffs repping the No. 8 offence and No. 6 defence. They finished the season with a 14-3 record as the best road team in the NFC (8-1), second-best in the NFL behind the Patriots (8-0).
They're part of the only division in the league sending three teams to the playoffs.
No. 2 Chicago Bears vs. No. 7 Green Bay Packers
It'll be a battle of the NFC for the third time between them this season. They split the season series 1-1, with each game being decided by seven points or less.
Chicago, who finished 11-6, haven't been to the playoffs since 2020, hosted one since 2018 - the last time they posted more than 11 wins - and haven't won a playoff game since 2010.
This'll be the Packers' sixth playoff appearance in the last six years after finishing the season 9-7-1.
No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles vs. No. 6 San Francisco 49ers
The reigning Super Bowl champions will look to defend their title after winning back-to-back NFC East titles, finishing 2025 with an 11-6 record.
This'll be the 49ers' first playoff appearance since they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 Super Bowl. They finished the year with a 12-5 record, making it five of the last seven seasons with at least 10 wins.
No. 4 Carolina Panthers vs. No. 5 Los Angeles Rams
The Carolina Panthers just barely made the playoffs after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But the Atlanta Falcons defeating the New Orleans Saints is what granted them their NFC South title since the 2015 season, when they went 15-1, a far cry from their 8-9 finish this season.
Los Angeles are led by MVP-favourite Stafford at the helm after finishing their third straight season with at least 10 wins. This'll now make it their third straight playoff appearance and their fifth in the last six years.
