The AFC has become a Wild West of a conference with 11 teams boasting a winning record and six of them tied with a record of 7-6. One of those teams is the Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off their disappointing loss to the New England Patriots last Thursday. The loss briefly knocked the Steelers out of the AFC playoffs field, but the results of Sunday’s slate of games bumped them back into field, Pittsburgh currently holding the sixth seed in the playoff standings.
DL Cameron Heyward addressed Pittsburgh’s standing in the playoff race, comparing the state of the AFC to a Netflix show where the goal is to survive at all costs.
