13. Pittsburgh Steelers (19)

Revenge or not, what was most important for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13 was how they were able to win for the sixth time in seven games after defeating the Cleveland Browns to help the team remain in great shape for a Wild Card berth.

After seeing how bad of shape Pittsburgh was in during the first month of regular season action, it’s amazing to think about how the Steelers currently hold the No. 6 seed in the AFC.

And while there’s still plenty of work to do during the final few weeks of action, Sunday’s win continues to show this team is playing with a ton of confidence at the moment and could be difficult to compete with once January arrives.

Between moving on from Antonio Brown in the offseason to Ben Roethlisberger suffering a season-ending injury early on in September, the Steelers have dealt with plenty of obstacles this year to show just how strong of a team they truly are.

If Pittsburgh can take down a hot team in Cleveland the way they did with Devlin Hodges under center, why shouldn’t the Steelers be playing with all of the confidence in the world right now as a top team to beat in the AFC?
