If the Steelers become a threat that's down to the Bills, and any pressure on the Ravens (and the likes of the Chiefs or Chargers for the wildcard) is not a bad thing.

And when you wish they had another loss bc the way the seeding  works and securing home field?  Wrapping up home field and resting starters is the goal.

Steelers recover a fumble and Jalen Ramsey takes it to the house. 

 

Edit: No, they don't. Mason touched the ball whilst out of bounds.

That was such a huge play, glad they got it right but at 14-3 that was a sign and not a fluke play.

I'm more concerned about the Chiefs, Chargers and Ravens than the Steelers at this stage. I think the Steelers have a tougher schedule than the Bills anyway (vs Packers, at Chargers, vs Bills, Ravens x2, at Lions) so they'll drop a few games.

 

The Vikings seem ripe to beat up bad teams where their defense can keep them in a game, but the offense is nowhere near good enough - more specifically at QB - if they need to win a shootout.

Man Weintz is just bad , I would have run it back w/ Darnold

[Chicken Boo]

I see DK feels motivated today to show out in front of a new audience. 

 

It's a shame this level of play isn't consistent with him.  He could be great.

Apparently the vaunted Vikings defense had too much lager in Dublin

They were hoping to bring McCarthy through. And, after last year, teams were interested in giving Darnold a job as starter.

Right. Wentz is QB2

They were in a tough spot. From a pure football standpoint, sticking with Darnold was obviously the right thing to do. But they had an investment in a rookie QB that they felt they needed to play. I would have to imagine that ownership has a large say in that decision.

[UKBillFan]

HOW do you let Rodgers beat you with his legs???

[FireChans]

That fumble looked like a glitch in the matrix

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

It’s inconceivable how the Steelers are the luckiest team sports, every week, every year. Why is it only a few teams that just destroy them. All the other teams let them muck it up and hang around and then when it comes time for a break…sure as you stand they’ll get every single one

I’m not sure that paying a one year wonder QB $50M that had basically sucked at every other stop their entire NFL career and also looked like that same sucky QB in the last 2 games of the season, effectively ending your season was “objectively the right thing to do.”

They haven't won a playoff game in a decade. Not exactly lucky.

Pitt scores here it’s over. 

[UKBillFan]

That looked like delay of game. Though the Vikings would decline the penalty.

[Draconator]

How many Delay of Games is Rodgers going to get away with?

I'll never figure that guy out.

He'll rip off 6 beautiful dimes and then suddenly look like he's never played QB before. 

[UKBillFan]

Another FG block - Rogers, who had that superb game last week.
