The Pittsburgh Steelers have been one of the more hotly debated teams this season, and the Steelers are entering the playoffs without much respect. They have the second-worst odds to win the Super Bowl, and like most of the season, there isn’t a lot of belief that this team will do much in the postseason.
And that’s totally fine with the players in the locker room.
“We’re a group that, backs against the wall, we like our chances because we’re all together. We thrive off people either counting us out, people not believing in us, and us trying to play our best ball,” Cam Heyward told reporters Friday via Joe Rutter of TribLive.
