1st place all alone. Maybe with the Ravens short week the Eagles can give us another gift this weekend.

I am just glad the Steelers can still win the division with a road loss in Cincy - now they just need to get out of there without injuries and take care of business at Heinz on Christmas Day

P.S. - Joe Flacco is not elite

lol agreed

Cincy is going down going down hard. Steelers offense doesn't turn the ball over this game won't be close.

Guys, don't kid yourselves. Sure the Steelers need to get a W in Cincytucky this weekend, but if the Ravens win their next 3 games, they win the division. I think we will see 2 weeks from now being the game of the year in the AFCN.

Exactly! Pittsburgh needs to win out and this includes beating Baltimore. I don't want to count on a wild card spot or getting assistance if Baltimore loses to Philly or Cincy. In other words, the Steelers need to make a powerful statement heading into the playoffs. 7-0 from here on out!

We can go back to rooting for whoever they play now.

Because of last night, if the Steelers win 2 of 3, as long as one of those is against Baltimore, they win the division. That's assuming Baltimore doesn't lose this week or the week after the Steelers. This week could be one of those emotional letdown games for Baltimore on a short week...maybe we get some unexpected help.

It's very possible that both Pittsburgh and Baltimore make the postseason.

Could have a vintage 3rd game between the two teams.

But, the team just needs to take care of the division like they should.

I don't think so.

Dolphins are also 8-5 and should beat the Jets and Bills, even without Tannehill. The 2nd place team in AFC West should also get in (Chiefs and Raiders both already have 10 wins) Broncos are 8-5 and have tough final 3 games. If the Steelers only win 2 of 3, they lose the head to head vs the Dolphins. If the Ravens win 2 of 3 they likely don't get in with 9 wins.

IMO, whoever wins the final 3 games, Ravens or Steelers....wins the division and the loser misses the playoffs.

whatever happens i hope we beat the ravens. I'm sick and tired of us dropping games to them already

We must win the Christmas Day match-up.  

Another loss (especially at home) to the Ravens would definitely bring the Steelers to the "they're in our head" effect.  

A place that's tough to escape once you get there.
