In case you haven’t heard, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots will go head-to-head in a near must-win game for the black-and-gold. The Steelers have lost three games in a row, and have the Baltimore Ravens nipping at their heals in the AFC North division race. But this isn’t just about the division, this is about the postseason.
Could the Steelers lose and still make the playoffs? Yes, but they would need the Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans all to lose in Week 15 to be in the 6th seed spot heading into Week 16 — assuming the Raves are able to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home in Week 15.
