It feels like a distant memory, but the Pittsburgh Steelers were 4-1 and in full control of the AFC North less than two months ago. Now, at a mediocre 6-6, they are fighting for their playoff lives with little room for error.
The Baltimore Ravens have surged back from a 1-5 start to tie Pittsburgh in the standings at 6-6, making their meeting Sunday as close to a playoff game as it gets with over a quarter of the season left to play. The winner of this game will see their odds of winning the division skyrocket, with the loser facing an uphill battle to stay in the race.
