When We Go To Pittsburgh, Let's Make A Statement!

If we win Sunday, after starting the season 7-0 (2 Cincinnati records at the same time) - Pittsburgh could finish the last part of their season 8-0 (highly unlikely) - and we'd just have to finish 6-3 (assuming we take care of Cleveland and Baltimore in those 6).  

Slightly lower down the list, but still important, it's a conference win and another overall win against two teams in competition for our playoff seeding - New England and Denver.  All games are important to win.  But the two games we have left with Pittsburgh and the game against Denver are arguably the most important games we have left.  

Yup. Winning this game would be HUGE. It's obviously not a must win, but it's difficult to overstate just how big an advantage it would be.
