What would surprise you more...

Winning out or losing out.

I actually won't be surprised if they lose the last 3 games. Losing a close one to Detroit, Tomlin special up in Cleveland, then getting run over at home against Baltimore.

Depends what happens this weekend… If Steelers lose and ravens win, then the Cleveland game is absolutely meaningless, and it all comes down to the finale against the ravens

Never underestimate the stupidity of teams that go up against Coach T.

He inspires them to change into incompetent buffoons and do whatever they can to not win.

Much more likely to win out.

The Steelers are in the top 2 in winning percentage of the Super Bowl era, Detroit is second to last. Cleveland, although usually a tough divisional game in their yard, is also a perennial loser and starting a rookie at the most important position in pro sports. After winning those games, I have to BELIEVE the Ravens are roadkill at Acrisure.

What would surprise me most?

Regardless of wins/loses fraudlin and deuce both step away from their current positions.

Ushering in wholesale change in both coaching staff as well as ownership philosophy.

Hey, it’s Christmas time and this time of year inspires miracles,…..there’s my Christmas present request to Santa.

Merry Christmas! 🎁

Breaking the record for NHALS means a ton to Fraudlin and Deuce.

Maybe with that in the rearview Deuce finally gets back to wanting to win championships. Another year without a playoff win and I think Tomlin will strongly consider stepping away because he's getting exposed and the HOF is no longer a given, certainly not first ballot.

With NHALS still in the balance I don't expect them to lose out. Tomlin will find a way to get at least one more win.

The Ravens winning their next two games would suprise me...beat the Patriots and the Packers in Green Bay. That is highly unlikely.

What would really be interesting is if the Steelers somehow win the division with a losing record and then win their first playoff game in a while. Now that would be something...losing record which results in Tomlin not breaking the record for most winning seasons and then winning a playoff game. For this to happen I believe the Ravens would have to lose their next two games (highly likely) and then beat the Steelers last game of the season (possible). The Steelers would just have to lose out (possible but unlikely) and then have a tie breaker for the division.

In that scenario, the ravens win the norf
