Why would the Steelers fans celebrate a Patriots loss?  You're joking right?

Nope.

It doesn't put them in the playoffs, so not sure why they would be celebrating it.

Perhaps things are slowing down for Zac

Because the Patriots are the arch nemesis of the Steelers.  They both have 6 SBs and if the Patriots win one this year they'll have 7 and 7 is more than 6.  Steelers fans root for the Patriots to lose like we root for the Steelers to lose.

Silver lining though. If the Steelers somehow squeak in, the Patriots are already the 3 seed. That would mean Pitt would need to travel to NE for the wildcard game.

Yea, but NE just lost at home to the Dolphins so who knows what they can and can't lose anymore.

Why waste 17 million on a backup QB? I guarantee Burrow would beat out Dalton for the starter job.

Average Andy shows up for his last game as a Bengals.  Now we can move on, and draft Burrow.  Average Andy has been average every year except 2015. Time for Andy to find another team. Cannot waste 20 million on a backup QB. Spend that money upgrading the Offensive line and LB and DB.

If that isn’t average, I don’t know what it is.
