The Pittsburgh Steelers have a chance to make a big statement at the end of the season in Week 16. On the road against the Detroit Lions, who desperately needed a win to stay alive in the NFC playoff race, this win gave Pittsburgh a 9-6 lead and put a lot of pressure on the Baltimore Ravens. It took 60 minutes, but they were done.
To make things even better, the Ravens lost on Sunday night. Baltimore must beat the Green Bay Packers in Week 17 to stay alive in the playoff race.
