It’s the battle of the mediocre in the AFC, but one mediocre team is in a very mediocre division and thus can make the playoffs.
Hey, remember when the Miami Dolphins were way out of the playoff picture? I mean they still are, but they’re not as far as they could be after starting the season 2-7. They’ve won four in a row to claw to 6-7, albeit starting at elimination with a loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Maybe the Dolphins wish they were in the AFC North, where 7-6 is enough for the Steelers to lead a sorry division.
No matter what Pittsburgh does, they lead the division entering Week 16. A loss means they’re tied again with the Baltimore Ravens at 7-7, but with the crucial head-to-head over Baltimore earned last week. DK Metcalf was a big part of that, catching 7 passes for 148 yards in by far his biggest game as a Steeler.
