KENNY PICKETT

Tyler Huntley, who threw just two TDs this season, and Derek Carr have been added to the AFC Pro Bowl Games roster.

According to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers are expected to keep Canada on staff as offensive coordinator for the 2023 season. Just a few months ago, things looked pretty bleak for Canada's future with the Steelers. They were 3-7 through Week 11, had scored at least 20 points only twice, and at least 30 just once. “I thought he got better just like our team got better,” Tomlin said via The Athletic. If the Steelers want Pickett to be their next franchise QB, best to keep him happy and not mess with his development, right?

Every week of an NFL season is weird in its own way, and Sunday’s Week 18 had its share of quirkiness. All four of those rookies cracked the top 15 at the wideout position in Sunday’s early window. Nothing was expected when the Niners selected quarterback Purdy with the final pick of the 2022 Draft, but Mr. I realize you would probably like projected 2023 rankings for these ascending talents, and don't worry, they're coming soon. The NFL is in so many ways a young man's game, and we have a lot to look forward to.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Najee Harris ran for 84 yards and a touchdown and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns 28-14 on Sunday but were eliminated from the playoffs when Miami edged the New York Jets. The Steelers (9-8) will have to settle for a 16th straight non-losing season under coach Mike Tomlin, fueled by a 7-2 finish. Pittsburgh's defense sacked Deshaun Watson seven times to assure the Steelers of finishing ahead of the Browns (7-10) in the standings for the 34th consecutive time. The Browns will miss out on the playoffs for a second straight year, although coach Kevin Stefanski’s job appears safe. ... C Mason Cole was evaluated for a left ankle injury in the third quarter but did not miss a series.

PITTSBURGH — (AP) — Technically, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett's middle name is Shane. It's one of the reasons Tomlin was one of Pickett's most ardent supporters during the pre-draft process. Pickett has just one interception over his past seven starts and is rarely putting the ball in harm's way. Sixteen years after arriving in Pittsburgh as a relative unknown, Tomlin now has a quarterback who followed a similarly low-key path to the Steelers. ... There’s just never been any doubt.”The Steelers need to beat Cleveland and get a fair amount of luck to sneak into the postseason.

The Baltimore Ravens hadn't allowed a touchdown for the entire game, yet still needed one more defensive stand to beat the rival Pittsburgh Steelers and stay on course to win the AFC North. Forced to carry the load on a team with an offense that has struggled for weeks to get into the end zone, Baltimore's overworked defense wilted down the stretch against Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett. After going 59 minutes without reaching the end zone, Pittsburgh took its first lead of the game Sunday night when Pickett connected with Najee Harris with 56 seconds remaining to provide the Steelers with a 16-13 victory.

5 Things I care aboutThe Steelers' young pieces are trending the right wayThe Steelers have long odds to get to the postseason.

BALTIMORE — (AP) — Kenny Pickett threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Najee Harris with 56 seconds remaining, giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a 16-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night and improbably keeping their playoff hopes alive for another week.

Down 13-9, Pickett drove the Steelers 80 yards in 3:20 against their rivals with the season on the line.

Steelers-Ravens play another physical gameThe Steelers and Ravens have played the same game for what seems like 20 years.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — (AP) — The most precarious lead in the NFL these days might be a double-digit one over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. No other QB who has faced at least three double-digit deficits has won even half, with Drew Brees' 6-7 mark the second best. Those QBs have all started at least 242 games, while Mahomes has only 70. New York also became the first team since the 2016 Lions to win at least four of their first seven games when trailing in the fourth quarter. Rob Carpenter played for Bum Phillips and Bobby Carpenter playing for Wade Phillips, while Ted Washington Sr. played for Bum Phillips and Ted Washington Jr. played for Wade Phillips.
