It was a great game. But, as a Bears fan, I can't imagine them going far in the playoffs with such a porous defense. Still, the season has exceeded expectations.
Dennis Allen and the defensive coaches have done a spectacular job of covering up gaping holes in the defense all year long. In fact, the quality of the coaching staff, across the board, was almost the entire difference in the Bears this year.

Later today i will get to play my favorite game of are the steelers actually going to be on fubo or not, followed by my second favorite game of will they actually be on the steelers radio network app? Unfortunately, i'm sick and going to a bar and getting everybody else sick would not only be questionable behavior, but also be a bad example for impressionable young people.

Unfortunately the rumors of free defibrillators are not true for tonight's game as well. All Steelers fans (including myself) are heavily suggested to have the car running and ready to go in case of a mid-game emergency trip to urgent care in the event of horrible play calling and lackluster offense and defense which can cause hyperventilation, extreme stress and discomfort as well as muscle spasms due to household items being thrown against the walls during the game. If you or a loved one experience any of these symptoms, you may be entitled to compensation... well okay no not really, just have to deal with it sorry, Always remember, it's just a game, life will go on, and we will all be bitter and wanting to clean house until next pre-season training camp. Good luck Steelers, you better win this one.
 
Jalen Ramsey was completely lost out there. What happened to him? Glad the Ravens are out, but I feel bad for the rookie kicker.
He's been playing that way since he arrived in Pittsburgh, the new Patrick Peterson.
Agreed on the Ravens kicker.
Tomlin played not to lose, and that's exactly what happened, he didn't lose. However, as Collinsworth pointed out, that game was exactly why they signed Rodgers. Well done Aaron.

I like both teams and knew it was going to be one of the best games of the year. It did not disappoint.
I’m sorry but I can’t root for Aaron Rodgers. To much of a “prima-donna”. The Ravens didn’t lose that championship tonite. They lost it with a pitiful start at the beginning of the season.
I also feel sorry for the rookie kicker. I hope he doesn’t let that kick define him.

When the game started and Henry was going off, I thought it was going to be a very long night for the defense, but they settled down and the line and backers played really well. But the secondary was just horrendous. All three Ravens TD’s were blown plays by the secondary on late downs. Those three long passes were almost half the total Ravens’ yardage on the night, and I don’t remember them ever actually being in the red zone.

I don’t watch a lot of football these days but remember that Ramsey was the highest paid DB in the league at one point. How the mighty have fallen…he looked like a clown out there tonight.

Ramsey was indeed one of the best in the game. Those days are long behind him, which is how he found his way to Pittsburgh to play for Tomlin. There he can rest on his laurels while cashing a nice paycheck hanging out with his buddy Tomlin on Sundays.
