The road to get there has been bumpy, and frustrating losses to the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets saw the Steelers surrender their hold on the sixth seed in the AFC, but the playoff dream can still be kept alive by a win Sunday and a Tennessee Titans loss to the Houston Texans.
Sunday’s opponent is the AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens in their stadium. Before the lump in your throat gets too big, consider that the Ravens have nothing to play for in this game, and several key starters will be rested. From Ravens Wire:
Coach John Harbaugh said quarterback Lamar Jackson, running back Mark Ingram, guard Marshal Yanda, safety Earl Thomas and defensive tackle Brandon William’s will be among those sitting.
