RIZZO: Steelers Get Huge Win

by Michael Rizzo

The Steelers now sit atop the AFC North Division with a 9-4 record. More importantly this makes a Playoff Bye the Steelers’ to lose. Given some of the injury problems the Steelers are going through nothing could be better then an extra week of rest. The Steelers have three of their final four games at home, including the NY Jets on the 19th. Baltimore’s most difficult game remaining is New Orleans on the same day. The divisional tie-breaker would be based on the games played within the division. With the win Sunday Night the Steelers now have that in their favor too. The Steelers are almost certain to get the AFC’s #2 seed by going 3-1 to finish the year. I even think going to 2-2 would be enough.
