Okay, Steelers Nation, let’s be real. Did anyone *actually* think we were going to sneak into the playoffs? I mean, after that rollercoaster of a season, it felt like we needed a straight-up miracle. And guess what? We kinda got one.
Here’s the deal: the Steelers did their part, battling the Ravens in a nail-biter that went down to the freakin’ wire. But the REAL drama unfolded elsewhere. Want to know the crazy part? It involves Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, THAT Aaron Rodgers.
Baltimore and Pittsburgh went down to the wire; a missed kick by the Ravens gifted the Steelers the division. A priest even blessed the endzone. You can’t make this stuff up!
“We knew it was no good on contact.” – Ravens Player on the missed kick
But the Steelers needed help. And they got it in the form of a Packers loss to the Bears! Aaron Rodgers may not have been on the field, but his team’s defeat punched the Steelers’ ticket.
The Breakdown: How It All Went Down
- Steelers Grit: They beat a tough Ravens squad in a physical, old-school AFC North showdown.
- Tucker’s Nightmare: The Ravens kicker, Justin Tucker, uncharacteristically missed a potential game-winning field goal. Clutch doesn’t even BEGIN to describe it.
- Packers Flop: The Green Bay Packers, already eliminated from playoff contention, fell to the Chicago Bears, eliminating the Seahawks, and paving the way for the Steelers’ entry.
- Divine Intervention?: Apparently, a priest blessed the Steelers’ end zone before the game. Coincidence? I think NOT!
