Paul Zeise: Star power and circumstance could play in Steelers' favor

The Steelers have secured their place in the AFC playoffs and did so in dramatic fashion with a come-from-behind win over their chief rival, the Baltimore Ravens, on Christmas.

That’s a good thing, too, because had they lost, they would be facing the very real possibility of missing the playoffs, considering the Chiefs and Dolphins both won.

But the Steelers will be the No. 3 seed in the AFC. Honestly, though, looking at the field, I’m not sure it could be set up better for the Steelers to get to the Super Bowl given all of the things that have happened to the other teams.
