LOS ANGELES – (Staff and Wire Service Report) – The Baltimore Ravens look to build on being in the top seed position in the AFC when they face the wilting Los Angeles Chargers on tonight at Inglewood, California.
The Ravens (8-3) have won five of their past six games as they run into a Chargers’ squad that has lost five games by three or fewer points this season.
While Los Angeles (4-6) is two games out of the final wild-card spot, Baltimore is atop the conference but aware there’s more work to be done.
“It’s good,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said of the No. 1 seed. “It’s where you want to be at this point, but it doesn’t mean anything until after the last game. We gotta keep winning.”
Baltimore has played one more game than the other four one-loss teams in the AFC. The Ravens’ bye is next week.
That break should come in handy as quarterback Lamar Jackson is dealing with a left ankle injury sustained in a 34-20 home victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 16.
