Here are some of Tomlin’s other thoughts:

On the Ravens’ offense: “It’s no surprise they’re one of the hottest teams in football. It’s about No. 8 (Lamar Jackson) and No. 22 (Derrick Henry) for us. Lamar’s play has been spectacular. There’s been very little negativity on their tape in general during the second half of the season.”

On the possibility of using both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields at quarterback: “I’m certainly open to utilizing Justin. He has an awesome skillset. We’ve done some of that in the past. In an effort to win this game, I am open to any combination.”

On wide receiver George Pickens’ recent issues with dropped passes: “He has to own it, but he wasn’t alone. We had several people that had several makeable plays (in Week 18), routine if you will. If you’re going to be good, not only great, but good, you’ve got to make routine plays routinely.”

On Wilson’s play over the last four weeks: “I think it’s reflective of all of our performances over the last month, it’s been spotty at best. But again, during that time period we’ve been 0-4. That’s not an earth-shattering statement.”

On why he believes Wilson can turn things around against Baltimore: “His approach to business day-to-day, first and foremost.”

Tomlin said traveling to Baltimore is a “tax to pay” for not winning the AFC North but he will embrace the atmosphere.

“I expect it to be a hostile environment,” Tomlin said. “I welcome that to be quite honest with you. It’s important that we smile in the face of that.”
