Heading into the season finale matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Pittsburgh Steelers have their playoff fate completely out of their own hands.
Beyond just grabbing a win over the Bengals on Sunday afternoon, the Steelers need the Cleveland Browns to edge the Baltimore Ravens in order to secure a playoff spot and the AFC South division title. With that in mind, star wide receiver Antonio Brown has decided to show his support for the Browns by slightly altering his jersey and posting it via his Instagram.

The Steelers have seemingly played themselves into this position with their struggles over the last few weeks, dropping four out of their last five games. This was capped by falling 31-28 on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Meanwhile, the Ravens have been one of the hottest teams in the league, having won five out of their last six contests since rookie Lamar Jackson stepped in as the starter.
Jackson has provided the Ravens with much stability under center while their identity with their running game and stout defense thas continued to carry them toward the win column. However, the Browns have also continued to take steps forward with rookie Baker Mayfield under center having won five out of their last six including the last three straight games.
This sets up what could be a highly entertaining Week 17 matchup that has plenty of playoff implications on the line. What this makes quite clear is that the Steelers will have their eyes fixated on how that unfolds on Sunday afternoon.
