The Pittsburgh Steelers came up clutch in overtime over the Baltimore Ravens to keep their postseason hopes alive. Pittsburgh will now likely make the playoffs as the only thing stopping them would be a tie between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.

This scenario has been discussed all week, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. Would the Raiders and Chargers come together and decide to tie, so both teams make it to the playoffs? It's unheard of and would send NFL fans into a flurry if it went down.

Ben Roethlisberger may get one last shot at another Super Bowl. He had a clutch drive to win the game in overtime and keep their title hopes alive. It will all start in Kansas City against the Chiefs. While the Steelers have had their ups and downs this season, their defense has kept them alive.

T.J. Watt has been phenomenal and is the frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year award. Pittsburgh won't be an easy out in the playoffs with a stout defense and a clutch player in Roethlisberger.

That being said, here are three takeaways from the Steelers' thrilling Week 18 victory over the Ravens to get in the playoffs.

3. The run game needs to improve

While Pittsburgh came away with the win, they still have adjustments to make moving forward. None are bigger than improving the run game.

Although Najee Harris has had a great rookie campaign, they struggled to get anything going against the Ravens. Harris had 11 carries for 28 yards and zero touchdowns.

Overall, the Steelers had 30 carries for 79 yards and zero touchdowns.

Pittsburgh will struggle against more explosive teams in the playoffs if they can't improve the run game.

2. Ben Roethlisberger is still clutch

Ben Roethlisberger is in the midst of his final season, and many expected this to be his last game. However, the Steelers' playoff hopes stayed alive with the Jacksonville Jaguars' stunning win over the Indianapolis Colts. They now hope the Chargers and Raiders don't tie in the Sunday Night Football matchup.

Roethlisberger had a solid game, throwing for 244 yards along with one touchdown and one interception. The numbers may not be like vintage Roethlisberger, but he led them down the field in overtime to set up the Chris Boswell game-winning field goal.

In the playoffs, the Steelers will need Roethlisberger to be clutch in big moments, and a game like this will give him confidence.

1. T.J. Watt is the Defensive Player of the Year

T.J. Watt has been the driving force of the defense this year for Mike Tomlin's team. Watt tied Michael Strahan's single-season sack record with 22.5 sacks. Some have tried to discredit this feat due to the extra game in the NFL, but Watt missed two games this season.

This means that he accomplished this feat in one less game (15) than Strahan did (16). Watt is one of the hardest players in the NFL to block, and he should no doubt win Defensive Player of the Year.

Against Baltimore, Watt had one sack and a forced fumble. His impact was evident, and he was vital in the Steelers' victory.

While Pittsburgh may not seem like a threat to the top contenders, they could be dangerous in the postseason. They have an elite defense and an offense with potential. If Harris and the run game pick up for the Steelers' offense, they will be a tough out in the playoffs.

Steelers fans now have to hope that the Chargers and Raiders game doesn't end in a tie.
