Who needs a first-round bye anyway? It didn’t exactly work out too well for the Steelers in the playoffs last season.
The Steelers blew a chance to pull to within a half game of the Chiefs and stay ahead of the Patriots in the jockeying for AFC playoff seeding after falling 24-17 to the Broncos Sunday.
This team won’t go very far in the playoffs, regardless of its seed, if it doesn’t clean up its sloppiness.
The Steelers (7-3-1) entered Sunday’s game with six straight wins, but they’ve essentially played one quarter of winning football in the last two games.
