Key Highlights

  • Win, and they clinch the AFC North, likely locking in the No.
  • 4 seed and a home playoff game at Acrisure Stadium.
  • Lose, and everything gets pushed to a winner-take-all showdown with Baltimore in Week 18.
  • The problem?
  • Pittsburgh will be missing a large chunk of its core lineup while trying to close the deal. On offense, the Steelers will be without DK Metcalf due to suspension, while Calvin Austin III (hamstring) and starting guard Isaac Seumalo are also out.
