The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a very precarious situation entering Week 17 of the 2018 regular season. No longer in control of their own destiny, they need to not only beat the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday, but they also need help. And where this help could come from is a very unlikely place — the Cleveland Browns.
While the Steelers could technically get in with a tie between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night, the most likely path to the playoffs will be with a Browns win over the Ravens, and the Steelers beating the Bengals.
