Baltimore is 12-3, the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC, and they’ll enter Week 18 against the Steelers with nothing to officially play for.
Such a scenario allows John Harbaugh to rest his starters.
Several vital starters and contributors will play on Saturday afternoon and enter the matchup with milestones and incentives to play for.
There are more than wins to play for, and we’re looking at five milestones select Ravens can reach in Week 18.
Jadeveon Clowney
The talented pass rusher is playing for more than just double digit sacks.
Clowney also needs 1.5 sacks to reach double-digit sacks for the first time in his 10-year career … https://t.co/eF1r34c6Eg

Justice Hill
Without Lamar Jackson out, Justice Hill will have a prime opportunity to shine, and rack up $250K.
Ravens’ RB Justice Hill needs 113 rushing yards today vs. the Steelers to reach 500 this season and trigger a $250,000 incentive. https://t.co/zdd3ZhFnTJ

Nelson Agholor
A breakout game for Agholor would be worth $750K.
Ravens’ WR Nelson Agholor needs 58 receiving yards today vs. the Steelers to reach 400 this season and trigger a $250,000 incentive and needs 10 more catches vs. Pittsburgh to reach 40 this season to trigger a $500,000 incentive. https://t.co/kEXzrFzP08

Odell Beckham --inactive
Beckham won’t play on Sunday, and he’ll either forfeit $1.2 million or Baltimore could convert it to a roster Bonus.
Beckham entered Week 18 needing five receptions for a $250,000 bonus and he needs two touchdowns for another $250,000 bonus. He also needs 185 yards for a $750,000 bonus.
Lamar Jackson --inactive
Jackson needed one more game with 50+ rushing yards to pass Michael Vick for most 50+ rush games by a quarterback.
Currently the two are tied at 54.
