Best Tweets from Steelers vs. Ravens: Dancing to 7-0 and Second-Best Super Bowl Odds

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered their AFC North showdown with the Baltimore Ravens as underdogs despite being the last undefeated team in the NFL. They emerged from a physical, four-lead change battle still undefeated. 

The Steelers rallied from a 10-point deficit to hang on for a 28-24 win. They are 7-0 for the second time in the history of the storied franchise and the first time since 1978. 

The win had big implications for Steelers’ futures markets. Their Super Bowl odds improved from +950 to +650. They have the second-best odds behind the Kansas City Chiefs. And the Steelers are now favorites to win the AFC North (-320).

How are the fans reacting to tying the best start in franchise history? It’s got the Steel City dancing.
