The Pittsburgh Steelers did their part. Then they immediately turned into fans of the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, or ties.
The Steelers didn't need a win to stay alive in the wild-card race — there were low-percentage scenarios in which they could make it even with a loss — but the victory helped a lot. Against a Baltimore Ravens team that had the No. 1 seed wrapped up and was sitting Lamar Jackson and other starters, Pittsburgh got an ugly 17-10 win in the rain. Pittsburgh hit the one big play to turn the game, when Mason Rudolph hit Diontae Johnson over the middle and Johnson ran for a 71-yard touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to break a 7-7 tie.
