However, if they play better than expected, they could take advantage of the fact that they play Cleveland and Carolina for the final 2 games of the season and perhaps surge into the playoffs-this is wishful thinking, though.
I can't see them in the playoffs. They should be able to adjust in Ben's absence, and I can see 3-2 if the defense comes back healthy and creates the opportunities as is their M.O. But that division is ruthless, and there's no reason to think the wild card teams won't come from the South or East if Pitt can't win the division.
