The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a surprising loss to the Cleveland Browns when they had full control of the AFC North. Now, things have become more complicated on the road to the playoffs.
The Steelers fell to a 9-7 record and, due to the result in Cleveland, have allowed the Baltimore Ravens to remain alive in the fight for the divisional title. Everything will be decided in the game the two teams will play against each other in Week 18.
Aaron Rodgers signed with the Steelers hoping to contend for a Super Bowl in the final stretch of his career. However, that dream could evaporate sooner than many expected.
