The Ravens entered Week 17, the final week of the 2010 regular season, looking to accomplish a few things with a win against the Cincinnati Bengals. First off, the Ravens entered the game looking to end their five-game losing streak to the Bengals. They were also looking to gain momentum heading into the playoffs. Also with a win and a Steelers' lose the Ravens would win the AFC North. This would give the Ravens the number two seed in the AFC and would give them a first round playoff bye.
The Ravens were able to build a little momentum heading into the playoffs, as they were able to win a close one against the Bengals and extended their winning streak to four games and ended their five-game losing streak to the Bengals. The Ravens' defense played well in the game as they forced five turnovers and held the Bengals to seven points. The offense did not play particularly well, but did its part not to lose the game.
Even with the win, the Ravens were not able to win the AFC North because the Steelers blew out the Browns. Because of this, the Ravens are the number five seed in the playoffs and will travel to Kansas City in the first round of the playoffs.
