Things have gone from not good in recent weeks to much, much worse for the Pittsburgh Steelers, thanks to their Sunday loss to the Chicago Bears.
The Steelers coughed up the AFC North lead after falling 31-28 in Chicago, and now they are on the outside looking in on the AFC playoff picture. Just a few weeks ago, the Steelers looked like a proverbial lock to make the playoffs. Now? They might not even get a chance to have the typical one-and-done in the postseason under Mike Tomlin.
According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Steelers’ odds to make the postseason sit at 50%.
