The Steeler had nothing for the Ravens as they jumped out to a 21-0 lead and never looked back as they cruised to an easy victory en route to a date in the AFC Divisional rounds.
Former Steelers wide receiver took his opportunity to add insult to injury during the matchup. Following a tough loss AB took to social media and took shots at Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, likening himself to Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers who also has an underwhelming playoff record.

Ravens Receiver Sings Lamar Jackson's Praises
The Ravens started the season with back-to-back losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. But since their win in Dallas in Week 3, they have seemed to hit a different gear and haven't stopped applying pressure since.
A large reason for the Ravens' success has been the play of their starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson, who currently has the best odds of winning this year's MVP award. Jackson has been among the elite quarterbacks in the NFL since he first arrived. But this year the game has seemed to slow down for him. Jackson is known for his dual-threat play style with his explosive run game, however, this year he seems just as comfortable in the pocket as a passer. And his teammates have started to take notice.
"It's like your ideal point guard in a basketball situation — somebody that sees people, sees their strengths, sees ways to get them won," Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor said.
"He's a special player, and I think we all know that. He approaches the game a certain way to be the best version of him every time he steps on the field."
