Steelers road to the AFC North might not be worth it

It is halftime between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore is in full control leading 17-2. If this holds, paired up with the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and the AFC North will have a new leader going into Week 18.

This means for the Steelers to come back and win the North, they would have to beat the Cincinnati Bengals at home in the final game and the Ravens would need to lose to the Cleveland Browns in Baltimore. At this point, we aren’t sure if the Steelers can even beat the Bengals, who are still fighting for a playoff spot, much less the Browns win a meaningless game to Baltimore.

As of now, we don’t have a kickoff time for the Steelers or Ravens so any scenarios that involve scoreboard watching will have to wait but with a playoff spot secured, how much do the Steelers want to push in Week 18?
