Last week the Ravens leapt into the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Now, at 8-3, they hope to keep it by winning on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. But to keep the No. 1 seed, they also need some of their close AFC counterparts to stumble, as they don’t boast the best tiebreakers right now and next week they’ll be on a bye week, giving the AFC a chance to jump back into the top spot.
