The Pittsburgh Steelers were big underdogs heading into their Week 16 battle with the Detroit Lions, but they clearly didn't get the memo.
The Steelers came away with a hard-fought 29-24 win over the Lions, improving their record to 9-6 on the season. It doesn't massively change their playoff outlook, as even a Ravens loss to the Patriots doesn't clinch the AFC North. But it is huge for their confidence.
The Steelers have struggled this season against their better opponents, with a 3-5 record against teams with a .500 or better record as of Week 16.
