The 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers are officially headed to the playoffs. With weeks to spare, the team clinched following Week 15. They backed into a postseason spot after the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts joined the Steelers in losing Sunday afternoon. It was one of two scenarios needed for Pittsburgh to end the week officially in the playoffs.
A Pittsburgh win over the Philadelphia Eagles would’ve punched their ticket into the postseason. Instead, the Eagles handled the Steelers with relative ease, controlling the clock and the game in a 27-13 win. But the Dolphins fell to the Houston Texans 20-12 earlier in the afternoon while the Colts dropped their contest to the Denver Broncos.
