The Pittsburgh Steelers posted 60 total yards of offense in the first half before they fell to the Ravens 28-14 in Baltimore at M&T Bank Stadium in the AFC Wild Card game on Saturday night.

Lamar Jackson threw for two touchdowns in a remarkably efficient first half for the Ravens, and Derrick Henry scored twice, leading an overpowering run game for Baltimore.

The Ravens will advance to the Divisional Round and either host the Denver Broncos or travel to visit the Buffalo Bills next weekend, while the Steelers are making vacation plans after the Wild Card round for the second year in a row.

Henry ran for 100 yards in the first half and 186 total as the Ravens outgained the Steelers on the ground 299-29. It's the most rushing yards allowed by the Steelers in a playoff game ever.

Pittsburgh has now lost five straight games to end the season with two of those coming at the hands of the Ravens in Baltimore, and the Steelers have lost six postseason games in a row.

Jackson carved up the Pittsburgh defense on the ground with 81 yards rushing and in the air, going 16-of-21 for 175 yards.
