The Steelers have spent the regular season dominating opponents both through the air and the ground and it’s why they’ll enter Week 17 with a playoff berth already clinched.

There’s no better proof of the Steelers’ incredible offensive balance than this nugget courtesy of ESPN’s Scott Brown:

"The Steelers are the first team in NFL history with a 4,500-yard passer, a 1,500-yard receiver and 1,300-yard rusher in the same season — and they still have one game left to play"

That is extremely impressive. Kudos to Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell for their career seasons, the new age “Triplets,” if you will. (“The Triplets” was the nickname for the Dallas Cowboys‘ dynamic trio of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith.)

Roethlisberger has further cemented his status as one of the game’s top quarterbacks, throwing for 4,635 yards and 36 touchdowns with just eight interceptions.

Brown has proven he must be considered among the league’s elite wide receivers with 122 grabs for 1,570 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Bell has shown himself to absolutely be a running back that the Steelers can build around for years to come, rushing for 1,341 yards and eight touchdowns at just 22 years old.

With these three offensive stars, the Steelers are no doubt going to be a tough team to defeat in the postseason.

Pittsburgh can clinch an AFC North title on Sunday with a victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
