Pittsburgh: The Steelers are in a bit of a tough spot right now. They’ve lost three games in a row, which has really shaken things up in the AFC North. Now, they’ve got some serious work to do in Week 18, no matter what happens with the other teams.
If the Ravens manage to beat the Browns this Saturday, the Steelers will be out of the running for the division title when they face the Bengals. Coach Mike Tomlin has made it clear that improving their game is the priority, even over resting players for the playoffs. Cam Heyward is totally on board with that mindset.
Heyward said it’s all about playing good ball. He believes the team needs to get back to basics and focus on their own performance. He pointed out that they can only control what happens on the field, and it doesn’t matter what’s going on outside the stadium. They know they’re in the playoffs, so it’s crucial to keep their focus sharp.
If both the Ravens and Steelers win, the Steelers will kick off the playoffs in Houston. But if they lose to the Bengals and the Chargers win, they could end up facing the Ravens again. So, there’s a lot riding on this game for the Steelers, beyond just getting back on track.
