Jags have a short field to start with 5:13 left. They can do it if they forget they're the Jags.

Wow, LOL! What a call at 3rd-and-1!!!

Love the Steelers fans in the building.

Troy in the offensive backfield, kneel it out, and hug it out!

Glad to be wrong about the Steelers going 8-8. Can't wait to watch the secondary make Alex Smith and the Chiefs receivers look like gods.

We blame Haley for being way too conservative so it's kinda refreshing.

However, if I'm throwing there it's a short, high percentage pass not a 25 yard down the fielder.

Either way, I really like how they kept throwing it due to the fact that the Falcons kept daring them to.

Atlanta was very stubborn defensively and finally the steelers played right into it (and rightfully so).

You could argue that the Steelers are the 3rd best team in the AFC. They'll get throttled by the top 2 teams, but that's still something.

You're putting them ahead of Indy? (I know you said 'could' but I'm curious)

I seem to remember watching them play earlier in the year.

I'm not sure anyone could argue New England 1 and Denver 2. Colts I think are clear cut 3, after that it's really a toss up. Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Dolphins... really just depends on the week

This. Indy clinched their division today. Just because the Steelers beat them earlier in the year doesn't give a free pass until after they play again. Way too much parity for that. TB wouldn't be a slam dunk over PIT if they played again.
