They'll need a Plan B, regarding the running game. But, anytime #'s 7 and 84 are on the field, and healthy, they have a chance. After last week's crushing disappointment, the roller coaster climbed to the top again today, as the unlikely,...happened. Remember, other teams are battling injuries as well (NEP injury riddled, CIN starting QB, etc). While he's having a very good season, D. Williams isn't the main reason the Steelers are 1 of the scariest teams in the Playoffs. #7 and #84 are the guys paying the Steelers' light bill.

I get that, but they aren't gonna win if they have no threat at all to run.

You can win in the afc right now without much threat.

Steelers face bengals in first round, a team they have beaten and cinci who is has a back up at qb...

If they win they go to denver to face a defense they lit up with the pass game already. We also have another team who lacks QB consistency.


I am ok with that path to the final 4. The scariest team in the AFC is probably kansas city.


Carolina should obviously be the favorite

Cincy will be a tough game but with the qb situation they have a really good chance. I belive the steelers are a 2.5 point favorite right now. KC would be an easier win for the steelers than Denver. KC wouldnt be able to score enough and have to change their gameplan to keep up. They also have their top 2 pass rushers banged up. New England is always tough at home. Seahawks and Panthers have to be the favorites in the NFC followed by the Cardinals.

Agreed. 
However, I guess we differ in that, if the O-line opens holes, I believe the other current Professional RB's on the Steelers' roster can run well enough to keep the opponent honest.
