After a wrenching 16-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday, Steelers playoff fate no longer rests in their own hands. If the Tennessee Titans beat the Houston Texans this weekend, they will claim the 6th seed in the AFC playoffs, punching their ticket into the playoffs.
However, Pittsburgh still does have a chance to play January in the wildcard… If the Titans lose and the Steelers upset the Ravens, Pittsburgh clinches the 6th seed in the playoffs with a 9-7 record. With all this being said, can the Steelers beat the 13-2 Ravens?
The Ravens have officially clinched the 1st seed in the AFC playoffs at 13-3.
