It’s been a rough month for the Pittsburgh Steelers but on Sunday, Pittsburgh started to turn things around at the perfect time. Reeling from their three-game losing streak, the Steelers welcomed and Indianapolis Colts team in the thick of a playoff race to town and then promptly beat them 28-24.
This win gave the Steelers a nice bump in the latest edition of the Touchdown Wire NFL power rankings for Week 17. They are up to No. 7 after tumbling all the way to No. 12 last week.
Facing their toughest test of the final few weeks after three-straight losses, the Steelers responded with a 28-24 comeback victory over the Indianapolis Colts to stem the bleeding and secure the AFC North division title. Ben Roethlisberger, facing the bulk of the recent criticism, completed 34 of 49 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns in the win. Another Steeler facing recent criticism, wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, had one of his best recent performances as he caught nine passes for 96 yards and a touchdown.
The Steelers go into their final game of the season at 12-3, AFC North champs and locked into the No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the playoffs.
