The Steelers still have the foundation of an elite defense intact. T.J. Watt continues to play at an All-Pro level, even if nagging injuries limited him down the stretch. Alex Highsmith is a valuable counterpunch on the other edge. Cameron Heyward returned to form and paired with Keeanu Benton to create a beef-tastic, disruptive core up front.

Unable to reverse the negative momentum of a late-season fade, the Pittsburgh Steelers disappeared from the playoffs with a humbling loss to their fiercest rival.

Lamar Jackson appears to have decided he's not getting knocked out of these playoffs while staying in the pocket.

Cleveland will reportedly interview Klint Kubiak for its offensive coordinator position. The Bengals’ search for a defensive coordinator reportedly includes Matt Eberflus and Patrick Graham.
