Can the Steelers Win the 2025 Super Bowl?
Don't look now but the Pittsburgh Steelers are very much in the mix for the post season.
A victory against their division rivals, the Baltimore Ravens, on Sunday has the Steelers owning an 8-2 record Straight Up. Pittsburgh now leads in the AFC North.
The Steelers were offering payout odds of between 17-1 and 20-1 to win the 2025 Super Bowl following their Sunday win.
The Steelers have won seven of the last eight games against Baltimore.
Pittsburgh's defense stifled Jackson and the NFL’s top-ranked offense on Sunday as the Steelers topped their AFC North rivals behind Chris Boswell’s franchise-tying six field goals in an 18-16 victory.
“We had a lot of slow starts, if anything … a lot of penalties, turnovers and stuff like that,” Jackson said. “We can’t have that in these types of games and this environment. It’s a division game.”
A fourth-quarter interception by Steelers linebacker Payton Wilson was costly for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
With Pittsburgh leading 15-10, the Ravens forced a turnover when Marlon Humphrey picked off Russell Wilson in the end zone. Jackson ran for 25 yards on first down, but a 15-yard completion to Henry on second down was wiped out by a penalty for an ineligible man downfield.
Payton Wilson picked off Jackson on the next play and Boswell eventually kicked his last field goal, a 50-yarder to give Pittsburgh an 18-10 lead.
“The penalties set us back too much,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
