Heading into Week 17, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a golden opportunity to clinch the AFC North. Even after the Baltimore Ravens won in Green Bay the night before, all the Steelers needed was a win over the struggling Cleveland Browns, to make Week 18 which meaningless. Clearly, that did not happen. The Steelers had one of their worst offensive performances in a while, and were underdogs the next week as a result.
Fortunately, Pittsburgh eventually righted the ship against the Baltimore Ravens. Both sides of the ball started slow. That gave way to a furious fourth quarter, which some would call lucky, where Pittsburgh came out on top.
