In this Monday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about Pittsburgh Steelers securing a spot in the 2023 NFL Playoffs over the weekend as the seventh seed in the AFC and how they will now play the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card round on Sunday.

Alex and I then dive into our Monday morning breakdown of the Steelers Saturday road win against the Ravens. We start on offense and then move on to defense and special teams. We make sure to highlight several individual players and plays from that big Week 18 road win by the Steelers. There were several reports about Steelers HC Mike Tomlin and the team's future at the quarterback position over the weekend, so Alex and I make sure to pass along what all was said and who said it.
