Silver-linings of a potential Steelers win:
1) The Ravens are a much bigger threat than the Steelers in the playoffs for the Pats.
Don't know how many times people need to see them come here in Foxboro and either flat out win or force to win by their teeth.
Elite defense + elite rushing attack is exactly what the Pats don't want to face. I rather see them have to do it all on the road or even potentially miss the playoffs all together
2) Saints lose and they still haven't clinched the #1 seed and can possibly drop to 3. Saints would scare me most in SB as the familiar confines of Atlanta wouldn't be too drastic a departure from their dome. A Rams/Bears as the bye week teams in NFC makes things much more interesting
