The Pittsburgh Steelers around quarterback veteran Ben Roethlisberger have won their last NFL game of the main round in extra time.
With the 16:13 against the Baltimore Ravens, the team now has an unexpectedly realistic chance of participating in the playoffs and continuing Roethlisberger’s 18-year career by at least one more game. However, the last game of the day between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers must not end in a draw in the evening. The Ravens have certainly missed the playoffs due to the defeat.
In the AFC, the Tennessee Titans secured a bye to the start of the playoffs next weekend by beating Houston Texas 28:25 and intercepted the Kansas City Chiefs. Both teams have twelve wins and five losses, but the Titans have won the direct duel with the Chiefs and therefore get the break like the Green Bay Packers in the NFC.
The Packers also have additional time to digest the unexpected loss to the Detroit Lions. In the duel between the German-American St. Brown brothers Amon-Ra and Equanimeous, the Lions won 37:30. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught the fifth touchdown of his NFL career and ended his debut season as the first freshman in NFL history with six games in a row, in which he caught at least eight balls. In total, he came to 109 yards, his brother had two captured passes totaling 22 yards. It was only the third win of the season for the Lions.
