The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 16 with a huge opportunity. With the Baltimore Ravens facing a New England Patriots team looking to keep their lead in the AFC East, a win this week over the Detroit Lions would put a ton of pressure on the Ravens.
Not only would they need to upset the Patriots this week, with Pittsburgh facing a terrible Browns team next week, but they would also likely need to beat the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 just to make Week 18's rematch even matter.
Based on the latest Steelers injury report, however, going into Detroit and walking out with a win seems next to impossible.
