"Thanks to a missed last-second field goal by Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop and fourth-quarter heroics by Aaron Rodgers, the Pittsburgh Steelers are AFC North champions. With Sunday night's win, the Steelers will host the Houston Texans on "Monday Night Football" (8:20 p.m., ESPN) in the wild card round next week. The Steelers' 25th division title is their first since 2020."
"Rodgers switched helmets before the third-down call, but a few seconds after lining up, he called the timeout and demonstratively gestured at his helmet. The Steelers scored on a rushing touchdown by running back Kenneth Gainwell a play later. Though the defense largely shut down running back Derrick Henry after a 79-yard first quarter, they gave up two big passing touchdowns in the fourth quarter to keep the game close."
Pittsburgh clinched the AFC North title after a last-second missed field goal by Ravens kicker Tyler Loop and late-game plays by Aaron Rodgers. The victory secures the Steelers' 25th division championship and a wild-card home game against the Houston Texans on Monday Night Football. Pittsburgh had missed a chance to clinch the previous week after losing to the Browns. Rodgers burned the final timeout amid helmet-communication issues, switched helmets before a third-down play, and the Steelers scored on a Kenneth Gainwell rushing touchdown. The defense largely contained Derrick Henry after a 79-yard run but surrendered two fourth-quarter passing touchdowns, and Chris Boswell missed a late extra point.
