Starkey & Mueller

Did this win turn things around for the perception of Mike Tomlin? If the Steelers battle in the playoffs, but lose, will you take it as a moral victory? Are we moving the goalposts in our Tomlin conversations? Cam Heyward said the Steelers are currently playing with house money – is he right? The guys don’t really get that one since the Steelers were in this same spot, technically, a year ago.

Donny Football Debrief – The Steelers won the division without Ben Roethlisberger for the first time since Tommy Maddox did it. Can Mullsy and Donny name the other Steelers’ QBs to accomplish this feat?

Aaron Rodgers said after the game that it has been a “great year”, and that he is very excited to go back to the playoffs. He also did not answer when asked if he’s ride into the sunset after this season. The guys think that Rodgers did a great job rebounding from a tough start to the game. If you’re the Steelers, would you want Aaron Rodgers back next year?

PIT-BAL Game Balls.

Did Mike Tomlin silence critics with yesterday’s division-clinching win? Poni thinks he did. He says that the Steelers recently have played poorly in playoff games, but they played well yesterday in a game that was just as important as a playoff game. Mullsy praises Tomlin for how well the team rebounded after going down early in this game. Do you agree with the way Harbaugh handled setting up the game-winning kick?

PIT-BAL Plays of the Game.

The Steelers are AFC North champions after a classic last night at Acrisure Stadium. They beat the Ravens, 26-24, in a game that gives the Steelers their first division title since 2020. The guys said they aren’t in the mood to dive into the analytics and the numbers because this is a day we should celebrate. Are we already counting out the Steelers against the Texans? We aren’t ready to get into that either. Let’s enjoy this. Poni harkened it back to the 2002 Wild Card game – with a team that didn’t really have Super Bowl chances, but is remembered for such a memorable game.

This is it. Win and host a playoff game at Acrisure Stadium or lose and finish another season in the middle of the league. We have everything you need to know ahead of Steelers/Ravens.

Possibly the final Fair Game with Nick Farabaugh of the year!

Poni does not care if the Steelers win or lose on Sunday. Does he have the right mentality?
