After the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans 20-16 on Thursday Night Football to move to 5-3 on the season, former NFL defensive lineman and current ESPN analyst Chris Canty is confident that Pittsburgh will be playing beyond Week 18. On Get Up! this morning, Canty was asked about whether or not the Steelers are legitimate playoff contenders. He unequivocally believes that they are.
“They’re gonna be in the playoffs. Nobody can muck up a game like Mike Tomlin’s business,” Canty said. “When you look at the remaining schedule, there’s no world that exists in which the Pittsburgh Steelers don’t find themselves in the playoffs,” Canty said.
