Pittsburgh beating Baltimore increases the chances the Baltimore will be playing for something the final game of the year against Cincy.

Whew! That was a little too close for comfort. But thats a game we would have lost a month ago. BJGE had himself a nice game just wish he would stick it in the zone when they get down inside the 10.
Dunlap is the defensive player of the year so far.
Win an move on.

Baltimore still holds the tiebreaker, so they are essentially 3 up with 4 to play. With that said, they have a difficult schedule. They will clinch a playoff spot in 2 weeks or less, but they probably won't clinch the division until the last week unless Pittsburgh and Cincinnati choke before then...

I'm only talking about playing for a bye. They play Denver soon.

As a Steelers fan I want Baltimore opposite of Pittsburgh in the #3/#6 WC game....and don't want Cincy getting a freebie the final week of the season....but also don't want to go to Denver in the 3/6 matchup

Like I've said.....Pittsburgh controls their own destiny and if Cincy takes their final spot, Cincy earned it and Pittsburgh didn't.....but getting beat because Baltimore rested everyone would be tough to swallow....but as much as it would suck, still would have to fault my team.

I see Baltimore having the division clinched, but no shot at homefield advantage. If they lose to Denver, homefield hopes are 100% gone. Denver still plays Oakland, Cleveland and Kansas City. I don't see how anyone but Houston and Denver gets a bye.

With that said, I certainly don't want to go to Foxboro in the 3/6 game...whether I'm Cincinnati or Pittsburgh...as you said, much rather go to Baltimore.

Wasn't pretty but it works just the same!

The Bengals and Steelers should be rooting for Denver to beat the Ravens
