Panthers Do Little To Slow Steelers’ March Toward Bye & AFC North Crown


Ben Roethlisberger showed off Pittsburgh’s deep passing game, and the Steelers inched closer to a division title and a first-round playoff bye by beating the visiting Carolina Panthers, 27-3, on Thursday night.

Pittsburgh (11-4) will wrap up the A.F.C. North title and the bye if it beats Cleveland on Jan. 2. The Browns (5-9) could end the division race even earlier than that if they upset the Baltimore Ravens (10-4) at home on Sunday.

“It’s good to be in the clubhouse before everyone else this weekend with a necessary win,” Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin said.

CARRY ON
