The Ravens and Dolphins did their parts to create a wild last NFL Sunday by losing against the Bengals and Jets. Their losses opened the door for the Steelers and Chargers to fight for the last playoff spot. Following a Steelers win, San Diego needed a victory against Kansas City's backups to go to the postseason.
