Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 10)

They couldn’t lose to three NFC South opponents, could they? Fresh off a victory in Cincinnati, the Steelers traveled to Atlanta to knock off the ‘somehow still alive’ Falcons in their typically friendly home. Pittsburgh, largely criticized for inconsistent play, has now won back-to-back games for only the third time all season – both on the road, no less. Returning home for two games to close out the season, Pittsburgh will first have to hold serve against the visiting Chiefs before hosting the Bengals in what will likely be a division-deciding game.
