Steelers' Rooting Guide for NFL Playoff Implications of Week 9

The Pittsburgh Steelers sit in a terrific spot in the AFC playoff standings entering Sunday's Week 9 games.

Pittsburgh's win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night pushed it into the top wild-card position ahead of the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns.

The Steelers also have their eyes on the AFC North race. They can gain ground on the Baltimore Ravens if the current divisional leader loses on Sunday.

Mike Tomlin's team holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Baltimore from its Week 4 home win. The two sides can't be tied after Week 9, but the closer the two teams are to each other, the more it will benefit the Steelers after the Ravens hit their bye week.
