The Pittsburgh Steelers have played one of the most brutal schedules in the NFL over the past three weeks and things definitely have not gone well during that span. Starting in Week 15, the Steelers had to play three games in 11 days and the team responded by getting blown out in all three games.

The Baltimore Ravens won their Christmas game, moving them past the Steelers in the AFC North race. The advantage has shifted to Baltimore, at least for the moment. Pittsburgh is going to enter Week 18 as the five seed with a final chance to reclaim the AFC North in Week 18 with some help.
