The Pittsburgh Steelers have already played nine games this season. A full six of them have come on the road. That means they have just two remaining over the course of their final seven games—which also means that five of their seven final games will be played in the comforts of home.
While it is true that the team has put together a strong road record this season, all things being equal, it is pretty much always preferable to play at home. And as the Steelers look to secure their first homefield advantage through the playoffs in over a decade, I am sure they will welcome the opportunity to do so without much travel time.
