To keep with the holiday season, the back seven of the Pittsburgh Steelers is looking more and more like the Island of Misfit Toys due to the amount of injuries they’ve had to deal with.
Yet, those misfit toys came up big in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals, helping the Steelers to a convincing 34-11 win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Now, the real question entering Week 17 on the road against the Seattle Seahawks is if that back seven with Patrick Peterson at safety, Eric Rowe coming off the street to play safety and Myles Jack coming out of retirement to play linebacker again, can play at a high level for a second straight week to give the Steelers a chance against another explosive offense.
