The Steelers came through on Sunday, beating the Cleveland Browns and securing a spot in the playoffs. But they needed help to get there, in the form of a Buffalo Bills win over the New York Jets. Without that, the 10-6 Steelers would be staying home next week.
Were the Steelers thankful? You bet.
Their official Twitter account had this exchange with the Bills' after the game:
