Will the Pittsburgh Steelers make the playoffs?

It all comes down to one game. Ok, it all comes down to a couple of games. The cleanest way for the Steelers to make the NFL playoffs is for them to beat the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans beat the Tennessee Titans. Anything else happens that things get really complicated really fast.

But after the way the team has gone sideways the last two weeks, can they finish the deal and make the playoffs?

At this point, I have zero confidence in the Steelers to beat the Ravens, even with Baltimore playing so many backups. It’s just hard to imagine the Steelers offense being able to generate enough points to keep the Ravens honest. There is only so much the Steelers defense can do and over the last two weeks we’ve seen this group start to wear down.
