The Steelers have defied the odds by even making the postseason.
Less than a month ago, the sky was falling in Pittsburgh and there was talk of serious change inside the organization.
But following the insertion of third string QB Mason Rudolph, the team has won three in a row and snuck into the playoffs.

Pittsburgh is no stranger to being underdogs, and in fact, they typically thrive in those situations under HC Mike Tomlin, holding a 6-4 record against the spread as a dog this year, winning every game outright.
But the Bills are as hot as they come. Buffalo needed to win out in order to make the playoffs, and they did, securing five in a row to close the regular season on a heater.
So Mike Tomlin and Co. will likely use this as bulletin board material. The "No one believes in us" mentality is one that works when teams are favorites, much less heavy underdogs.
We'll see if Pittsburgh can dig deep and shock the football world on Sunday afternoon.
