If the post season began today, the Pittsburgh Steelers would currently qualify as the #6 seed in the AFC. That seemed rather impossible a couple months ago but in an era of football that has become almost completely about the offense, the Steelers have managed to drag themselves into a playoff position because of their defense. The Steelers are averaging just over 19-points a game, which ranks 25th in the NFL but with one of the stingiest defenses this team has seen in quite some time, the Steelers have gone against the grain and found a way to make it work.
