Following the conclusion of Saturday’s matchups, the Pittsburgh Steelers have lost out on one Week 17 playoff-clinching scenario.
The Steelers had two options to clinch a playoff spot this week, either a Baltimore Ravens loss to the Green Bay Packers or a win over the Cleveland Browns — and Pittsburgh is unfortunately down to the latter.
During the Peacock Holiday Exclusive on Saturday night, the Ravens blew out the Packers, 41-24, courtesy of RB Derrick Henry’s monster game, where he rushed for 216 yards and four touchdowns.
Defeating the 3-12 Browns should be a cakewalk on paper, but the Steelers have struggled to get a win over Cleveland over the past seven years, going 1-5-1 when taking on their AFC North rival on the road.
