HR 2: Dead or Alive, Week 7 Power Rankings

The Steelers fell to a 6-18 deficit and managed to claw their way back to a late fourth quarter lead, but it wasn't enough as the Browns were able to retake the lead in the final moments and end the Steelers five game winning streak.

Tom and Jacob light the fire on this sad Friday and start by playing the blame game for who deserves the most criticism for the lost to the Browns. They also preview all of the Week 12 action, react to the Giants releasing QB Daniel Jones, and share who they got in the Triple Play.

The Steelers are playing on a short week after beating one AFC North opponent this past Sunday and being forced into quick turnaround to play another AFC North opponent on Thursday night. Jameis Winston is certainly an upgrade over Deshaun Watson but the Steelers defense can still forces Jameis into enough mistakes that could lead to a Steelers victory.

Some fans are thinking this game in Cleveland could be a trap game for the Steelers but it's imperative they get a sixth win in a row against the Browns to keep their stronghold on the AFC North. Tom and Jacob rank their top ten teams heading into the twelfth week of the season, and they pick a winner for Steelers/Browns.

Russell Wilson arguably had his worst game as the starting quarterback for the Steelers as he only managed to get the offense 18 points all off of Chris Boswell, but apparently it was enough to overcome Lamar Jackson and the Ravens as the Steelers won another tough AFC North matchup to improve to

Lamar Jackson clearly has a Steelers problem as he's now dropped to a career record of 1-4 when he faces the Black and Gold. The Chiefs and Bills never disappoint as it was another great matchup this past Sunday, and the Bengals come up just short in their comeback effort against the Chargers.

The Steelers will face off against the Ravens for the first time in the 2024 season this Sunday afternoon and many are calling it the matchup of the season so far. The Steelers are underdogs at home but with Russell Wilson leading the Steelers to a 3-0 record and averaging 30 points in those three victories, there's good reason to believe Russ and Co. will be able to exploit a weak Ravens pass defense.

The Steelers and Ravens are the marquee matchup of the week but the Chiefs and Bills face each other once again in the 4 o'clock window, plus the Bengals take on the Charges on Sunday night as both teams fight for a wild card spot. Tom and Jacob share who they got in their Triple Play and they pick a winner for Steelers/Ravens.
