Updated AFC playoff picture after Steelers blow comeback attempt vs. Bears

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a commanding lead over the AFC North early in the season. It certainly helped that the Baltimore Ravens dealt with a bevy of injuries, the Cincinnati Bengals lost quarterback Joe Burrow due to injury, and the Cleveland Browns were, well, the Cleveland Browns. All the Steelers needed to do was continue to pick up wins.

But entering Sunday, they have lost three of their last five games. It wasn't going to be Aaron Rodgers starting against the team he thrived so much against in his career, the Chicago Bears, as he wasn't exactly healed from a left wrist fracture.
