Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and Derrick Henry ran for a pair of scores as the Baltimore Ravens clinched the AFC North division title with a 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
That means the Ravens (12-5) will open the playoffs at home against the Los Angeles Chargers or division rival Pittsburgh Steelers on wild card weekend to open the postseason.
Baltimore trailed the Steelers by two games at one stage before winning their last four games to finish on top.
The Browns (3-14), meanwhile, are coming off a miserable season with six straight losses.

Scoring Summary
The writing was on the wall for Cleveland early in the contest, as Zappe saw the first of his two interceptions returned 26 yards for a touchdown by rookie Nate Wiggins for the game's first points.
Jackson added to Baltimore's lead when he threw TD passes to Mark Andrews in the second quarter and Rashod Bateman in the third, capping a spectacular statistical season that could be good enough to see him win his third league MVP award.
Jackson finishes the regular season with 4,172 passing yards and 41 touchdown passes, becoming the first quarterback to top 4,000 yards and 40 TDs with four interceptions or fewer. Jackson also rushed for 915 yards.
Zappe's 16-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Akins made it 21-10 in the fourth quarter, but the Ravens mounted a 70-yard drive that ended with Henry's two-yard touchdown run.
Henry added another 43-yard run late in the game, seeing him finish the season with 1,921 yards rushing and a career-high 16 touchdowns on the ground.
