The Baltimore Ravens clinched their second consecutive AFC North title with a decisive 35-10 win over the Cleveland Browns on January 4, 2025. The victory not only secured the division championship but also earned the Ravens the No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson delivered an impressive performance, completing 16 of 32 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. He also added 63 rushing yards, making him the first player in NFL history to surpass 4,000 passing yards and 900 rushing yards in a single season.

Running back Derrick Henry was instrumental in the win, rushing for 138 yards on 20 carries, including a 43-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Henry's performance brought his season total to 1,921 rushing yards and 18 total touchdowns.

The Ravens' defense also made significant contributions, starting the game with an interception returned for a touchdown by cornerback Nate Wiggins. This early turnover set the tone for the game and provided a substantial lead that the Browns could not overcome.

With the win, the Ravens finished the regular season with a 12-5 record, overcoming an 0-2 start and a challenging schedule. They will host a home playoff game against either the Los Angeles Chargers or the Pittsburgh Steelers, as they aim to advance further in the postseason.
