This is what it comes down to. We have the top two teams that pulled at our heart-strings almost all season, even flat-out telling us they'd try for 16-0 (Thank you, New Orleans), and still delivering themselves into the playoffs with the top seed in their respective conferences.

As it turned out last week, Pittsburgh Steelers offensive players were not a "full go", as out Week 14 Start/Sit column suggested.
