IMO, this is damn close to a must win. A loss doesn't mean they're out of it by any means...but getting to 6 wins makes their job a lot easier going forward, and it gives them them a tiebreaker advantage against LV. Those things start to be much more important now.
If they were to come out and look bad in a 3rd straight loss, that would be pretty concerning and I would start to wonder where their heads are at and what the coaching staff had been doing with the time off.
Agree with all of this, this is as close to a must win as we have had this season. We needed the rest badly and to look at the
mistakes we made against the Stains and correct them. I watched the game after and if we took care of the ball better and
Chase made some plays like he was doing the rest of the season we could of won the game or at least made it real close.
The Chubb run was honestly our undoing on Defense, other than that we played pretty good. The Mayfield TD pass was a
fraction of a second from being a BJ Hill knockdown instead. This game is such a game of nanoseconds it isn't funny.

And yeah, every week there's games happening around the league that leave you scratching your head and saying WTF. Hell, look at Dallas. They looked pitiful last week, getting owned by Denver...then come back and obliterate the Falcons today.
The Steelers look bad man, no doubt about it. Cannot believe they have won as many games as they have, ugly.
Weird ass season, all kinds of strange things going on. I don't know what to think about any team at this point.
