BALTIMORE, Md. (AP) - So much for earning home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.

The Baltimore Ravens posted the NFL’s best regular-season record at 14-2, but they are done until next September following a 28-12 loss to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC divisional round.

Derrick Henry ran for 195 yards on 30 carries and threw a three-yard touchdown pass to Corey Davis that put the Titans ahead, 21-6.

Ryan Tannehill threw for just 88 yards but had two scoring passes, including a 45-yard TD to Kalif Raymond. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 508 of the Ravens’ 550 total yards, but he also committed three turnovers.

Jackson threw for 365 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 143 yards on 20 carries.

But he also had two costly interceptions and lost a fumble after entering the game as a favorite to win the NFL MVP award.

Jackson also was stuffed for no gain on a pair of fourth-down plays. Tennessee scored all of its points off takeaways or fourth-down stops.

The Titans will be on the road for the AFC Championship game to face the winner of Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and visiting Houston Texans.
