As a team, the Baltimore Ravens have absolutely nothing to play for on Saturday night.
They’ve already secured the top spot in the AFC, and if anything, they should be looking to stay healthy for the playoffs.
However, there’s still a lot at stake for some players, more specifically for Jadeveon Clowney.
As reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN, the former No. 1 pick has a lot of money on the line in the game vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He’s just a half-sack away from reaching nine for the season, thus cashing in on a $750,000 incentive.

Considering that Clowney signed a one-year deal worth up to $6 million with the Ravens, we’re talking about a very significant incentive for his contract.
The Steelers, however, cannot afford this to happen.
Mike Tomlin’s team’s season is on the line, and not even a win might be enough for them to reach the promised land.
The easiest path to the playoffs would be to beat their divisional rivals tonight and hope the Buffalo Bills take down the Miami Dolphins on the road on Sunday.
There’s still a world in which that team can make the playoffs with a loss or a tie, but they would need an almost impossible combination of results to get it done, so they cannot afford to leave anything to chance.
