The aching Steelers still control their destiny in the AFC North. Their grasp, however, is slipping

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Technically, the standings still show the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the AFC North. While the Steelers still have everything in front of them even after a 34-17 loss in Baltimore on Saturday in which a pair of Russell Wilson turnovers and a battered defense starting to show signs of wear allowed the Ravens to pull away, the grasp they had on the division two weeks ago is now far more tenuous. To do it, the Steelers will likely have to beat the two-time defending Super Bowl champions on three days’ rest and then the Bengals in the regular-season finale, not exactly ideal opponents for an injury-marred defense that has given up more than 400 yards in consecutive weeks for the first time since the first three games of the 2019 season. The Steelers came up empty twice in six days, and while Wilson’s turnovers didn’t help, Pittsburgh’s inability to match up with either team in the trenches could be a far bigger problem going forward if it can’t find a way to regain the physicality it showed earlier this season. Minkah Fitzpatrick’s fourth-quarter pick of Lamar Jackson — his first in 26 games — was the fifth takeaway by the Steelers inside their 20 this season, tied for second most in the NFL.
