Three weeks ago, the Steelers had a real chance of earning a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs.
Now, they may not even make it to the postseason. They’ve now lost three straight dating back to their Week 12 collapse vs. the Broncos, a game in which they led in the fourth quarter before falling 24-17.
In Week 13, the Steelers blew a 23-7 lead at home to the Chargers before falling 33-30. They blew a 16-point lead at home for the first time in franchise history. The Steelers were previously 174-0-1 all-time when ahead by 16 points at home.
