considering the new situation if the raiders chargers decided to cheat the system and knee themselves into a tie, would their 9-7-1's get a tie breaker over the Steelers 9-7-1 ?

The Jaguars only went out and did it. What a time for them to have their moment. Big Ben wants one more round.

BANG BANG NINER GANG!!!!!!!

Had this convo is a friend earlier. Who do ya'll think was better at their peak. 2011 Drew Brees or 2020 Aaron Rodgers?

LOL at "Steelers clinch playoff berth".

So much was riding on that Chargers-Raiders game! Wow!

Yeah, they won a rematch with the Chiefs.  In week 16 they were down 23-0 at the half and lost 36-10.

What a game to end the season. On to the playoffs, let’s go pats.

Man, poor Justin Herbert. The dude is a legit superstar, but his defense did him NO favors.

Yeah, Patrick Maholmes has torched the Steelers D for 584 yards, 9 TD's and 0 int's in his two games against them (2018 and this year).  So, I rationally don't have high hopes for Pittsburgh going into KC.  But, I do believe they earned the right to be there.  The Steelers were 4-2 in the AFC North this year, and posted wins over 2 playoff teams along the way (the AFC East Champ Buffalo Bills, and the AFC South Champ Tennessee Titans).  Although they needed help to get in (Jags over Colts, and no-tie in Chargers-Raiders, which was the option I thought I had to worry about the least and yet almost happened), I wouldn't say they backed into the playoffs.  They took a hand in their own destiny by beating 2 division rivals also fighting for playoff spots to close out the season.  And twice yesterday, Big Ben was given the ball with the game on the line, and he drove them downfield both times (the TD to take the lead late 4th quarter, and then the FG to win in OT).

Another thing I will say is that I'm glad to see Big Ben go out on a winning season that includes a postseason trip.  For NFL All-Time marks, he ranks 5th highest in Passing Attempts, Completions, and Yards, & 8th in TD's (sadly only needed 3 more TD's to pass Philip Rivers and Dan Marino).  And, he leaves with 2 Super Bowl rings.  That's a great legacy to go out on.  He outlasted every other QB in his draft class, didn't have to change teams like Philip Rivers, and didn't suffer the humiliation the Giants put Eli Manning through of getting benched and ending his career as a backup QB on a losing team.  It's been a hell of a run, and I'll be happy to see him suit up one more time in mid-January when 18 other team's seasons have ended already.
