After the Thanksgiving slate of games, which included the Ravens losing to the Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers briefly regained control of the AFC North before their huge matchup with the Bills on Sunday. Pittsburgh, which has struggled the past couple of games, now finds itself at a crossroads in a pivotal stretch of the season.
A win on Sunday would keep them on top of the division and also give them the head-to-head tiebreaker over Buffalo, something that could matter a lot if both teams are fighting for the same playoff positioning. A loss would drop the Steelers out of first place and make next week’s game against Baltimore even more important in the push to stay alive in the playoff race.
