Honestly? I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Steelers lost one of their last two games. Records/talent levels have a habit of occasionally becoming meaningless (or at least less meaningful) in AFCN games.
The Browns beat the Steelers 31-10 last year.
The Ravens started their season 1-6. Their one win? Against the Steelers.
Neither of those teams were better than the Steelers. AFCN games just have a habit of being weird like that sometimes. (Like the two teams tied for 4th overall scoring offenses playing in a game in putting up a total of 26 points, which is less than each are averaging separately.)

On the other hand, it's why I am a bit more worried about McCarron vs the Ravens. Should easily win the game, but can't assume on any AFCN game.
