Two games out, five remaining....not bad. I wish we could have mulligans for the Oakland, Minnesota and Tennessee games. Those were some bad losses.
That always should be the #1 focus. Win divisions first. Only have to worry about 3 teams versus 12. Funny thing about all this. The Steelers win this week & can take care of the Bengals...we may all be Ravens fans on December 29.
Remaining schedules...
Steelers 3 home, 2 road
@ Bal
Miami on a long rest
Cincy
@ GB
Clev
Cincy 3 home, 2 road
@ SD coming off a bye
Indy after cross-country travel
@ Pitt
Minny
Bal
Not an easy schedule for Cincy, but not one that should scare a team that was supposed to be a SB contender.

Brutal. If the Steelers had won just one of those games, they'd have a much clearer road ahead. As it is now, they have almost no margin of error.
Just win Baby.
If we win the rest i believe we take the division.

Yep! All are bad losses.
If we win 4 out of 5 (84%), our probability of making the playoffs is much greater than if we win 3 out of 5 (27%).

Let's just focus on the Ravens. They are favored at home, a proud franchise, defending SB champs and bitter rival. Beating them is what matters this week.
I dont believe we can end tied with the Titans either..
