But have to beat Baltimore on Christmas.
I don't think 2 of 3 will do it. Baltimore has a better division record and they could finish 5-1 in division and tied with Steelers overall and the Steelers would be 4-2 in the division.

Really need to just win out and not need any help. I think Baltimore can win the division if they win out.

Getting screwed on calls and non calls today. Refs have been totally one sided.

Why 2? Aside from an off chance if Bengals get a td and Mia the extra point we would still be tied. But now we would be kicking a fg to tie instead of win.

Why was the head shot on Greene not a personal foul?

Not a fan of passing there even though it ended up being a first down.

I agree. Some gutsy play calling there. Fortunately it went the steelers way, but damn that could come back to haunt them.

I like going for 2 in almost any situation. They should have just kicked the extra point there.

Ravens get lucky that the eagles summoned their inner Tomlin to go for a win than take their chances in OT.

I like it. You have a chance to win it. Go for it. Only need 2 yards.

I just found out that Sunday's game is a NFL network only with the exception of the Pittsburgh area. That's a typical NFL move to put it on a station that a lot of people don't get. I am one of the ones who won't get to see it. Way to go Goodell.

So another non losing season with no playoffs just good enough to have no real change. The Ben injury will just be the excuse.

How many yards have we lost from running it out of the end zone? Why even try? You aren't breaking past the 15 let alone the 25.

How do the refs miss that face mask? If Brown doesn't get in it should have been first and goal at the 1 inch line

That was one sweet victory. 21 points in the 4th quarter.

Will Ben, Brown, and Bell sit next week? Doesn't Bell have some crazy scrimmage yards record he could get? I hope all 3 sit and get ready for Miami.

Bell can beat the years per game average but doubt he's close enough to get a real record due to his suspension.

Zero reason to play them more than a pre season game. Also need to get the depth some reps in. This is the ultimate meaningless game.
