Steelers power rankings roundup: Pittsburgh stays put in the mushy middle

“The big news coming out of Sunday’s win was the wrist injury to Aaron Rodgers, which might not be a season-ender, but it’s a concern nonetheless. To his credit, Mason Rudolph was slightly more effective than Rodgers was on Sunday. The backup did his job, entering the game protecting a one-point lead and leaving it with a 22-point victory. Pittsburgh’s defense also deserves credit, delivering yet another strong performance on the whole, with Kyle Dugger’s pick-six helping vault the team to the win. We’ll see what Rodgers’ status is, but getting a win after losing three of four -- and with a tough upcoming slate -- was a critical development. Pittsburgh is currently the No. 4 seed, but there’s a lot of work left before we can say it’s comfortably in the postseason picture.” - Eric Edholm
