Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery has admitted that his side have no margin for error if they want to reach the NFL playoffs this season.
Cotchery scored the final touchdown of the match as the Steelers beat the Detroit Lions 37-27 last night, taking their season record to 4-6 having lost their opening four games of the current campaign.
The 31-year-old expressed his desire to maintain his side's improved recent form as they look to close the gap on divisional leaders the Cincinnati Bengals.
"We've got to keep this thing going. Our margin for error is non-existent right now. We feel good about this team and we're going to keep grinding," Cotchery told The AP.
The Steelers are currently tied with the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns for second place in the AFC North.
