Sitting at 6-8 on the season, the year is essentially all but over for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While there are still three games to play, including an emotionally-charged Christmas Eve matchup at Acrisure Stadium against the Las Vegas Raiders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception and retire Franco Harris’ number, and there’s a faint chance at the playoffs, for many intents and purposes, the season is all but over.
Don’t tell members of the Steelers that, especially star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
With three games left in the season, the Steelers are playing for pride.
