And even the loss to the Colts was pretty bad, because it was a decisive win for the Colts (30-13), and the Colts with Gardner Minshew at QB were a pretty good (but far from a great) team.

After the Steelers lost to the Colts to conclude their disastrous 3-game losing streak, they were seemingly in a shambles ...... Steelers fans were calling for the head of Mike Tomlin, claiming that the game had "passed him by" ...... they responded by winning their next 3 games to finish the season at 10-7 to bring home the 17th consecutive winning/non-losing season for their much-maligned head coach.

The Steelers are probably going to lose this game to the Bills, but the same is true for many of the lower-seeded playoff teams throughout recent NFL history ...... they often lose in the first-round, and it can often be foreseen prior to the fact.

Kind of like the Cowboys losing early in the playoffs.
