The Pittsburgh Steelers have an opportunity to clinch the AFC North if they can beat the Baltimore Ravens later today, and that would also ensure at least one home playoff game. The Steelers are focused on finishing as high as possible in the AFC, as NFL Media’s Omar Ruiz said on NFL GameDay Kickoff ahead of Steelers-Ravens that Pat Freiermuth told him they want the playoffs to run through Pittsburgh.
“Pat Freiermuth, the tight end for the Steelers, told me they want the playoffs to run through Pittsburgh as long as possible,” Ruiz said.
The Steelers haven’t hosted a playoff game since the 2020 season, losing to the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card Round.
