For official purposes, the Pittsburgh Steelers are currently the No. 7 seed in the AFC with three weeks left in the 2015 NFL season. However, don’t get caught up with that seeding number as the Steelers actually control their own destiny, unlike the New York Jets, who are currently listed as the No. 6 seed.
The Jets are only ahead of the Steelers right now in the seeding because they have one more conference win. They’ve also played one more conference game than Pittsburgh has but that will change this coming weekend as the Steelers will host the Denver Broncos while the Jets will play the Dallas Cowboys on the road.
