What was it head coach Mike Tomlin said shortly after the Steelers 31-28 loss to the Saints that left them at 8-6-1 and in need of some serious help in-order to qualify for the playoffs? Something to the effect of, “We’ve had 15 opportunities to state our case.”
Make that 16 opportunities and a 9-6-1 record, thanks to Pittsburgh’s rather ugly 16-13 season-ending victory over an injury-depleted Bengals team at Heinz Field on Sunday.
Yes, it was a season-ending win, thanks to the Browns coming up just short against the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium.
