The Steelers have plenty to be happy about following yesterday’s Thanksgiving games, gaining some assistance from their rivals. Not only did the Bengals defeat the Ravens, the Cowboys also beat the Chiefs. With Kansas City losing, it helps keep open a path for a Wild Card berth if they can’t win the AFC North.
Now, the road to a Wild Card spot is still narrow, and the easiest path remains winning the division. Fortunately for the Steelers, Cincinnati just ended Baltimore’s five-game winning streak, putting them back in first place—for now. In case you were wondering, though, Pittsburgh would fall back into second with a loss to the Bills.
