Steelers have a chance to win division title on last day of season for first time in 30 years
Happy holidays, Steeler Nation!
Along with the festive holiday mood you're probably in right now, if you're reading this, that means you're more-than-likely a Steelers fan. And since the NFL playoffs actually feel like an extended-version of the holiday season, you're festive mood is probably boosted a bit with the warm and comfy feeling of Pittsburgh's first playoff berth in three years.
Also, since the Steelers will win the AFC North title with a victory over Cincinnati this Sunday evening in the last game of the 2014 regular season, you're probably pretty excited about your upcoming post-Christmas and pre-New Year's weekend-festivities.
If the Steelers do win the title on Sunday Night Football at Heinz Field, it will be the first time they've clinched a division in their final regular season game since December 16, 1984, when they escaped the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum with a 13-7 victory over the Raiders to claim the old AFC Central Division crown with a 9-7 record.
The last time Pittsburgh had a chance to capture a division title with a final regular season victory was on December 30, 1990, when the team traveled to the old Houston Astrodome to face and Oilers unit, missing franchise quarterback Warren Moon, who was out with a serious injury. The Steelers had the number one defense in the NFL, according to Pro Football Reference, and they would be facing fairly unproven backup quarterback, Cody Carlson.
