How @_BigBen7, @_TJWatt and @CoachTomlin defied the odds and clinched the @steelers a spot in the #NFLPlayoffs. ⬇️

The @steelers defense got off to a hot start with a huge Week 1 win vs. Buffalo.

@_TJWatt's brand new contract was already paying off. 😤

Despite some ups and downs (and a tie 🤷‍♂️), the @steelers continued to fight in every game.

An OT win vs. Seattle in Week 6 set the tone for a team that would not quit.

Another huge Week 15 victory vs. an AFC powerhouse in Tennessee kept the @steelers #NFLPlayoffs hopes alive.

Week 17 vs. Cleveland was looking like it could be @_BigBen7's last home game with Pittsburgh.

You couldn't write a movie script much better than this win for Ben. 💛🖤

An emotional Week 17 win meant the @steelers were still in the hunt, but they still needed a lot to fall their way in Week 18.

It started with @_TJWatt entering the record books by tying the single-season sack record (22.5).

An OT win vs. Baltimore was the first domino to fall.

Then a wild Raiders win in game 272 officially clinched a Wild Card spot for the @steelers.

.@CoachTomlin set the record for most consecutive seasons (15) with a .500 winning percentage or better.

Can the underdog @steelers continue their magical season with a #SuperWildCard win tonight? #HereWeGo
