In a crucial game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers secured an important 17-10 victory at M&T Bank Stadium, battling through a cold rainstorm. Najee Harris played a central role, delivering an impactful performance with 26 carries, 112 yards, and a crucial touchdown. This win enhances the Steelers’ playoff prospects, which sets the stage for their postseason aspirations.

To secure a playoff berth, the Steelers now hinge their hopes on other outcomes in the league. Their chances involve needing either the Bills or the Jaguars to face defeat. Or, in an unlikely scenario, a tie between the Texans and Colts. Moreover, Mike Tomlin has refused to put unnecessary thoughts into the future and is currently he’s solely focused on the present.

Mike Tomlin shuts down the playoff talks

In the post-game press conference, the Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin talked about the remarkable win of the Steelers. However, now the team is at the stage where their fate is in the hands of the other teams. So, he was asked by one of the reporters if he’d be glued to the TV screen now that there’s hope for the Steelers, to make it to the playoffs.

Well, Tomlin didn’t show any interest in that conversation. He showcased that it’s not healthy to think about something that one doesn’t have any control over. He said, “I don’t know yet I hadn’t thought about it like I said we were more concerned about the variables that we had control over um those other ones are less important we did what we needed to do this weekend.”

So, Tomlin doesn’t want to put much focus on them right now. Most importantly, he wants to celebrate the incredible win that the team has managed to scoop out against the No.1 team in the AFC playoffs. He even gave huge credit to safety Eric Rowe.
