Things look rather bleak for the Pittsburgh Steelers entering Saturday night’s AFC Wild Card matchup with the Baltimore Ravens at 8 PM/ET.
For starters, the Steelers are mired in a four-game losing streak and are backing into the playoffs in ugly fashion. The offense hasn’t scored more than 17 points in a game since Dec. 8, marking a four-game stretch without doing so. That’s not even Matt Canada levels of offensive ineptitude.
The defense has seemingly cleaned up its tackling and communication issues in Week 18 but still hasn’t performed all that well against some of the league’s best, and it hasn’t shown it’s truly one of those elite units the Steelers believed they were for much of the season.
