The Steelers have no right being anywhere near a playoff race. Not when they’re down a future Hall of Fame QB in Ben Roethlisberger, when they're giving carries to practice squad guys and when they're generating points at a clip that looks straight out of the pre-Chuck Noll era. And yet, here they are, with a 5-4 record and a soft upcoming schedule that includes games against the overhyped Browns and winless Bengals. This injury-ravaged, offensively-challenged squad that began the year 1-4 now has a 53 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to Football Outsiders.
