Hey Chris! Thanks for the Chat! Do you feel like this team gives you the Giants feeling when everyone turned on Tom Coughlin and they went on a run and won the Super Bowl? I mean as a fan I am frustrated, but Tomlin has done more with less! He takes the bullets and his teammates rally behind him. If he had a QB, I’m sure we wouldn’t have these discussions! Your thoughts please

I think that would be one hell of a Cinderella story if that happened and don't see it being likely.

But I will point out that Cam Heyward called back to the 2005 Steelers team when asked about his confidence in this team. He wasn't there of course, but he brought it up as a reference to being hot at the right time of the year and that if they get hot, they can be dangerous.

FWIW, this Steelers team is 7-6 and that team was 7-5. So, I get it.

BUT, that team also had the 5th best rushing offense in the NFL and a top 5 defense. So, not the same.

To your comparison of those Giants teams, I do get the sense this team likes to play for Tomlin and it's possible they rally to overcome the odds down the stretch for some games. This certainly is not an AFC that's got an overly dominant team, and I wouldn't be shocked to see a team that doesn't have an MVP level quarterback make the Super Bowl.

The AFC has been represented by either Mahomes, Brady, Roethlisberger or Manning in all but two years since 2004.

Those two quarterbacks who broke into the list were Burrow and Flacco.

All that to say, it would have to be an all-time run for it to happen. But, this might be the best the field as looked for that to happen in the AFC for a while.

Thanks everyone for joining! I'll be at the facility tomorrow for any updates before the game and then I'll be at the game with our crew on Monday!
