Do the Pittsburgh Steelers care about playing the Houston Texans or Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round? They could be forced to show their hand if the Ravens start Week 18 with a win against the Cleveland Browns to clinch the AFC North. If that’s the case, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will have the option of resting his starters or playing to win to face the Texans on wild-card weekend.
