Our good pal James Walker, AFC North blogger, has done us the favor of breaking down the Steelers playoff scenarios as they head into this weekend vs the Bengals:
The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) are one of those teams after getting a huge victory last week over the Baltimore Ravens (8-4). The Steelers now have the inside track on winning the AFC North division and can secure a postseason spot as early as Sunday via several scenarios.
Here they are, according to the NFL:
- Pittsburgh wins + Jacksonville loss or tie + New England win or tie + Miami Dolphins loss or tie
- Pittsburgh win + Indianapolis loss or tie + New England win or tie + Miami loss or tie
- Pittsburgh win + Indianapolis loss or tie + New England win or tie + Oakland loss or tie + San Diego loss or tie
- Pittsburgh win + Indianapolis loss or tie + Miami loss or tie + Oakland loss or tie
- Pittsburgh tie + Miami loss or tie + Oakland loss or tie + San Diego loss or tie + Indianapolis loss
Got all that?
In every case, the Steelers have to win or at least tie against the Cincinnati Bengals (2-10). Otherwise, the other scenarios do not come into play.
