It’s been a season full of ups and downs for the Pittsburgh Steelers, that much is certain.
There were some highs, like getting to 7-4 on the season despite some incomplete offensive performances. There were plenty of lows, too, like losing in five days to a pair of two-win teams in the Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots, all but torpedoing their season.
But somehow now at 8-7 on the season after snapping a three-game losing streak with a 34-11 throttling of the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, the Steelers are still alive in the AFC playoff picture.
