So I honestly believe this.

that the difference between the Steelers winning a playoff game and not this year if they get in is avoiding that confrontation with the Ravens and having the division be on the line.

I really believe that.

And it's avoidable.

This is a beatable Detroit team.

They haven't won back-to-back games since October 5th.

They're banged up.

They got injuries in their secondary all over the place.

Their starting center might be out.

They're very inconsistent.

And they're on the ropes, man.

You should see their playoff scenarios.

They basically have to win all three games.

So...

The Steelers, if they could get that final week as a JV game and rest people as a de facto bye week, given the fact that so many of their most important players are older, given the Watt situation, given everything, the difference between resting that week.

And banging heads with the Ravens when there is a history, although maybe not so recent, but a history of both teams doing bad the week after they play each other.

I just think that could make all the difference.

Yeah, exactly.

And it's possible.

It's possible to get to that spot.
