BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson will not travel with the team Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in one of the closest NFL playoff races in recent memory.

As Jackson suffers a bone bruise on his ankle, Tyler Huntley is likely to take on QB duties in the closest division race in 44 years at this point in the season.

There is one game separating the teams at the top — Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens both 8-6 — from the bottom (the Cleveland Browns at 7-7). The defending division champion Pittsburgh Steelers are a half-game back at 7-6-1.
