18. Pittsburgh Steelers (20)

Lucky or not, all the Pittsburgh Steelers care about in regards to Week 9 is how they managed to come through with another key win over the Indianapolis Colts after taking advantage of the team dealing with the loss of Jacoby Brissett.

Even though Brian Hoyer gave the Steelers a bit of a scare with his impressive play, the fact that Pittsburgh won for the fourth time in five games shows this is the last team to rule out in the AFC playoff race over these final two months.

Back in September, all hope seemed lost for Pittsburgh when Ben Roethlisberger went down with a season-ending injury, but the Steelers deserve plenty of credit for turning things around before it was too late.

With another win over the Colts, all eyes will be on the Steelers from now until the end of December to see if this team has what it takes to not only earn a playoff spot in the AFC, but also give the Baltimore Ravens a run for their money in the division.

Up next, Pittsburgh will welcome the Rams coming to town to see if they have what it takes to keep their recent impressive play going, and take advantage of previous road struggles surrounding Sean McVay’s squad.

Los Angeles certainly won’t be easy to defeat, but also Pittsburgh’s defense has looked real impressive at times in recent weeks.
