In this episode, Samuel breaks down the reason for the Texan's success on defense, the way their offense has developed over their nine game winning streak, and perhaps an interesting way the Steelers can win this game.

Zane predicted it, and our worst fears have been realized: the Browns beat the Steelers 13-6 in that cursed stadium in that cursed city. Now the ultimate finale awaits in Week 18 against the Baltimore Ravens with the AFC North on the line.

Without any reason to believe the Steelers would win, Zane predicted a Steelers victory over the Baltimore Ravens, and a 27-22 final score proved that true.

Was it ugly? Absolutely. Did they get bailed by the refs? Maybe. Plenty to discuss this week on BB&G with Zane and David. Is the seat magically not hot for Tomlin anymore? Was this just smoke in mirrors? What's the outlook against Miami this coming week. All that and much more in this episode!

What? You really thought the Steelers would lose this game? Such fake fans. You had no grounds for such assertions, and only a headcase would say such things (we, yes we, are headcases).

Zane and David have a lot to digest after the Steelers took home the 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Is the defense back to being the Steelers defense? Is the offense actually becoming a concern? What does this mean for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers?
