"BALTIMORE — The NFL playoff formula asserts that the Pittsburgh Steelers can earn a No. 3 seed in the AFC playoffs if they beat the Baltimore Ravens and the San Diego Chargers lose to Oakland."
So that means if they beat my homestate (the Ravens) they can continue on, while I do love to root for my homestate, I dont think they are doing as well as they could, so I really dont have any issues with PA. taking the slot. Anyone else?

I'm all for PA advancing over the Ravens. But then again they are my favorite team so I'm biased. Hopefully the rest of the equation will work out as well.

The last time I followed the Ravens, they were not called the Ravens if that tells you anything, a good long long time ago.

Haha, were they worth following then? I was really disappointed when they lost to the Ravens. It was so close too.

You might know then by another name. My uncle had me watch old games, so I never had a chance to see a live one. Here is the article from wiki:
"The Indianapolis Colts are a professional football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are 2006 champions of the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football League (NFL).
The team began play in 1953 as the Baltimore Colts. A previous Baltimore Colts team played between 1947 and 1950. The original Colts team began play in 1946 as the Miami Seahawks, a member of the upstart All-America Football Conference. They relocated to Baltimore as the Colts in 1947, and joined the NFL in 1950 after the AAFC merged into the older league. However, the franchise folded after one NFL season. After fans in Baltimore protested, the NFL formed another Colts team out of the ashes of the failed Dallas Texans for the 1953 season. While in Baltimore, the club won four NFL Championships, including Super Bowl V.
Prior to the 1984 season, the Colts moved from Baltimore to Indianapolis. Since moving to Indianapolis, the Colts have appeared in the playoffs ten times and won Super Bowl XLI on February 4, 2007."
