The Pittsburgh Steelers did their part on Saturday in Baltimore. 

Winning 17-10 with the playoffs on the line, Pittsburgh needs some help but they are one step closer to the postseason. 

Unfortunately, the availability of their best player, T.J. Watt is up in the air following the game:

Steelers at Ravens Postgame Injury Update 

  • T.J. Watt: Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said: "T.J. is being evaluated with a knee injury, I'll have more info the next time we get together. I'm obviously disappointed in that but we'll deal with it whatever it may be." Well, a couple of NFL insiders added some context to Coach T's statements, with Ian Rapoport of NFL Media saying Watt is dealing with a grade three MCL sprain, which is typically a multi-week injury. Obviously, that doesn't bode well for Watt's status if Pittsburgh makes the playoffs, but he also reported that Watt was adamant about returning to the game, though Pittsburgh’s medical staff wouldn't allow him. We'll gain further clarity as the week goes on, should Pittsburgh's season carry on.
