A long holiday break, replete with traveling, delayed the Stock Report. Let’s check in on the Steelers as they enter their first meaningful Week 17 since 2015.
Stock down: Oh God, everything
The Steelers need a win and some help to make the playoffs. The good news is that, should they defeat the Cincinnati Bengals—a team they’ve defeated seven times in a row—in Week 17, the Steelers could win the AFC North, thereby securing the AFC’s fourth seed and hosting a playoff game. Their foe would most likely be the Los Angeles Chargers, a team against whom they built a three-possession half-time lead earlier this season and very probably should have beaten.
