Why should we be pulling for the Steelers? I mean, I put them in the same file as Univ. of Michigan, when it comes to my football rooting alliances. Every week I'm a fan of whomever plays the Steelers and also a fan of whomever is playing Michigan.
If Baltimore beats Pittsburgh, they're 8-5 with Cleveland, Indy and us on deck. They could conceivably win out, and with TEN/JAX both on target for 10+ wins, there go our wildcard chances. So, there is a certain logic to wanting PIT to win, it would delay our WC elimination for at least one more week, if nothing else. Now, if it were week 16 and a Baltimore loss to PIT followed by loss to us would then give us the WC spot, then I could root for them. Problem is, we are so far from a WC spot right now it would take the light from a WC spot six years to reach us.
So, **** the Steelers, in other words.
