With just one week left in the regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have all but conceded there's not much more the team can do to bolster their playoff seeding. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed that by deciding to sit quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for the regular season finale in Cleveland.
"There's one bye available in this single-elimination tournament," Tomlin told media members on Tuesday.
"We're not going to be that team. We made that bed so we're prepared to lay in it. That's the most significant variable for us. That being said, getting an opportunity to air-mail a player or two to the postseason, we will."
