Steelers Week 12 NFL rooting guide

Going into their Week 11 game against the Cleveland Browns, the Pittsburgh Steelers were already a team in control of their own destiny for the postseason. A win would have given them a significant lead over the Baltimore Ravens.

But instead, the Steelers went out and laid a big egg in the snow against the Browns and lost, leading to a much bigger mess in the AFC playoff picture. The Steelers got their game out of the way early but there are three games this week for Steelers fans to keep an eye on.

Houston Texans vs Tennessee Titans

The Texans are nipping at the heels of the Steelers in the AFC playoff picture. We gotta root for the Titans even though it’s a long shot.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos

The Steelers beat the Broncos early in the season and Denver has turned things around since then, We hope the struggling Raiders can pull off the upset and keep that distance between Denver and Pittsburgh.

Los Angeles Chargers vs Baltimore Ravens

The Chargers and Ravens are both in the playoff hunt but we have to root for Los Angeles here to upset the Ravens and help keep some distance between Pittsburgh and Baltimore in the AFC North.
