For the second straight week the Pittsburgh Steelers had to win ugly. No matter how it looks in between the painted lines, it all counts the same when the Steelers come out on top, and that’s just what they did on Sunday at Heinz Field, holding off the visiting Los Angeles Rams for a 17-12 win to move in to the sixth seed in the AFC playoff picture.
Once again, the revamped defense came through time and time again, allowing just 3 points to a high-powered Rams attack that had two full weeks to prepare.
