So I'm gonna totally nerd out here, but basically, despite the win totals, Jacksonville was easily the superior team to Pittsburgh. They won their games by over 10 ppg while Pittsburgh had only won by around 6 ppg. It was almost certain that with them having won 13 games during the course of the regular season that the Steelers would lose in the postseason, especially to a team like Jacksonville. What's troubling for me is that the Saints have a higher ppg differential than my Vikes do, but they are comparable and it's worth noting that the Vikings have defeated several teams with better ppg differential.
