Chock-a-block full of action and intrigue, you might say.  

Several have mentioned the Pitt/Indy game, and I wonder if it may be better for us if Pitt were to beat Indy?  We can hand the Steelers a loss the following week, and then they close with Seattle and Baltimore. So realistically, they could go 0-3 in those games (maybe 1-2?) and be done, while Indy has what would appear to be an easier schedule (Atlanta/Vegas/Houston).  Meh, food for thought.  

Three and one seems doable, but the football gods are a fickle lot, so I worry about us dropping a game we shouldn't, even if we do manage a win against KC or Cleveland.  I'll hope for 11-6 or 10-7, but 9-8 may be the final result.   That's still quite an accomplishment after the way the season went off the rails, as it were.  

Nah. Bengals have the tie breaker over Indy. Need Pitt to be a full game behind at the end of the season. Plus, if they lose and the Bengals beat them, there's a real chance Tomlin's 'no losing seasons' record is dunzo. Be nice to see them lose out and end up 7-10.
