While the Pittsburgh Steelers still don’t know exactly what seed they’ll be or who they’ll play come Wild Card weekend, they gained a little more clarity following Saturday’s slate of AFC games. With the Los Angeles Chargers beating the New England Patriots and Cincinnati Bengals beating the Denver Broncos in a bonkers overtime game, the Steelers’ playoff math heading into Week 18 is more crystalized.
Because of the Broncos’ loss, Pittsburgh can’t be the No. 7 seed. That would’ve only happened had the Steelers lost to the Bengals next weekend while the Chargers and Broncos won their respective finales.
