Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott went double or nothing ahead of the Ravens-Steelers playoff/division decider on Sunday.

The teams squared off in the final game of the 2025 NFL regular season and lived up to the hype. It did appear that fans were justified in complaining about the game being played on ‘Sunday Night Football’.

But they were wrong…

The teams proved they deserved the primetime slot with one of the most dramatic finishes of the year. On the other hand, the Seahawks-49ers game from the previous night wasn’t much of a spectacle.

So the NFL did get it right, although they couldn’t have known. 

Anyhow, Scott took to social media before the game to reveal he’d lost a bet with former Steelers star Ryan Clark. Instead of keeping the Steelers’ paraphernalia on like he was supposed to, he doubled down and pretended to wipe his butt with the Terrible Towel before throwing it away. 

“Y’all going home,” he said. “The only thing you do with this towel, you wipe your butt with it. Ravens all day, give the ball to King Henry, take us to the playoffs.”

Check him out in the video below:

King Henry did not take Baltimore to the playoffs, but the Ravens put on a show. 

Lamar Jackson found Zay Flowers for two deep touchdowns late in the fourth quarter, each of them giving Baltimore the lead. 

However, Aaron Rodgers also put together two late scoring drives. He dropped a 26-yard dime to Calvin Austin III to give Pittsburgh a two-point lead with 55 seconds left. And, of course, they missed the resulting extra point to set up a nail-biting finish.

Jackson would set the Ravens up in range with a drive of his own, converting a key fourth down. 

Tyler Loop stepped up for the 44-yard game-winner, but his kick sailed wide as time expired. 

The miss resulted in Pittsburgh Winning the AFC North and the Ravens missing the playoffs for the first time since 2021. It also resulted in a reaction from head coach John Harbaugh in the tunnel.

The Steelers are scheduled to play the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
