Atlanta Falcons (5-7) vs Pittsburgh Steelers (4-7)

The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing out the season with some very un-Steelers-like goals.
A winning streak would be a start.
Perhaps a late spurt to avoid coach Mike Tomlin's first losing season.
The Steelers (4-7) will try to put together their first back-to-back wins of the season when they travel to Atlanta on Sunday to face the Falcons (5-7).
"It's important, obviously, that we work our tails off to stack this victory, man, and move on in our journey," Tomlin said.
Three games out of both the AFC North lead and the wild-card race, Pittsburgh would need a remarkable turnaround to make the playoffs for the 10th time in Tomlin's 16-year tenure.
In fact, the Steelers must win five of their last six just to avoid a losing record, which hasn't happened in Pittsburgh since 2003 under Bill Cowher.
