The Pittsburgh Steelers did as they always do and celebrated their win over the Houston Texans with their fans on social media.
Week 16 wasn’t even close for the Steelers. For Pittsburgh, it was a great Christmas as the team claimed their first-round playoff bye with a dominating 34-6 win over the Texans. Now, they focus on Week 17 against an 0-15 Cleveland Browns team with the hope of finding some help to claim the top of the AFC.
As usual, though, the team didn’t want to get too far ahead of themselves and jump right into Week 17. Against a Browns team that hasn’t looked capable of doing anything productive all season, the Steelers should have a walk through win. But, they’ll be more focused on how the New England Patriots game plays out. With a loss to New York Jets, Pittsburgh will reclaim the AFC and send the road to the Super Bowl through Heinz Field.
Pittsburgh loved the win. Whenever someone puts up numbers like they did and stayed healthy during it, it’s a great week. Then, you put that game on Christmas Day and you have a team ready to celebrate for more than one reason.
After the game, Pittsburgh did what they always do and let the fans know exactly how they felt. With some of the best social media accounts in the league, the Steelers spread their victory with all their fans on Monday and Tuesday.
How do u expect me 2 jump??? GREAT CATCH though! Don’t know how he got 2 in! #GoodOnGood https://t.co/e5vmBAltGO

The Steelers will start their preparation for Week 17 this week. The Browns may not have a win on the season, but against a divisional opponent, there’s never any room to relax.
Next: Two different stories of Brown's return
Expect a big social media week from all the guys on the team, as they continue to celebrate their playoff achievement and get ready for their final game of the regular season.
