it is always a good thing when your team can capture a w on the bye week and that is undoubtedly what

pittsburgh did this past week i'm john ledgerd the host of the locked on steelers podcast also right over

at fanragsports dot com and it is the end of the steelers by week which means they'll be returning

to regularly scheduled practices this week and we'll have your regular pregame stuff leading up to the end of the Steelers' by week, which means they'll be returning to regularly scheduled practices this week.

And we'll have your regular pregame stuff leading up to the game against the Colts.

But in my opinion, they got a win on their by week because just about everything went the Steelers way this week.

From the Jets beating the bills, which honestly, if we're realistic about it, that game really doesn't make

any difference what the bills happen or what happens with any of these other teams other than

division leaders in the AFC and the bill, but the bills losing to the jets. I mean, from

that to Cincinnati loses and the Ravens lose and the Chiefs lose. I mean, everything set up perfectly.

But the division is essentially in hand.

You know, the Bengals go down 23 to 7 to Jacksonville.

In fact, Jacksonville winning was the only thing you can even really kind of say was maybe a slight negative for the Steelers because Jacksonville, if they do win, that division has that tiebreaker over Pittsburgh. And at 5 and 3, the Steelers is 6 and 2. You can't afford to slip up

and have the same record as Jacksonville because they do have that tiebreaker over you for a

potential buy. But I don't know if anybody feels like Jacksonville will actually at the end of the day

have the same record as Pittsburgh. They have played pretty well to this point, though, but that's something to keep in mind. The Bengals are cooked at three and five. The Ravens are four and five now, and

I'm not going to say it's impossible for the Ravens, but having the Steelers already having

beaten both those two teams. The rest of the AFC is weak. Wildcard isn't still totally out of

the question for those teams, but come on. I mean, watch baltimore plays this is a team that can go on a

run at any point even contend for playoffs i mean i just i'm not sure four and five they've got their

by week then they go to play to play green bay obviously without hunley uh or without rann rogers at

lambo field they've got houston without dehawn Watson. Detroit then another game against
