NFL Power Rankings: Playoff blues reign following Week 17

8. team. 55. <p>Heading into Week 17 the Pittsburgh Steelers had one job to do and that was defeat the Cleveland Browns. Of course, they’d also need the New York Jets to lose –which they did– to keep their playoff hopes alive, but as far as their end of the bargain goes they were successful.</p> <p>The Steelers were one of the more intriguing teams to watch this season, as they really had their ups and downs. For the most part, this was like some of the Pittsburgh teams that we’ve seen in the past where they would sometimes play down to their competition while rising up when the lights were on the brightest.</p> <p>Once again, the offense for this team with the likes of Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown was one of the more explosive and effective in all of the league. If there is one thing that we can take away from the Steelers’ regular season, it’s that Brown may indeed be the best at his position in all of the NFL. Time and time again they needed a big play and he came through for them.</p> <p>Now, because of how everything played out on Sunday, the Steelers will be heading into the NFL playoffs as the No. 6 seed and will have another shot to add a Super Bowl trophy to their case.</p> <p>Can this offense put together some impressive performances to get that trophy is now what we all wait to see.</p>.
