If Buffalo pulls off the upset and we drop to #2 then I believe that there can be no chance that Pittsburgh would end up in the divisionals against Baltimore where one of them could be eliminated......The #1 is big because a Steelers win over Denver or Oakland would set themselves up to face #2 seed and if Pitt plays Baltimore that takes one of the two major dangers for the conference title out of the running automatically.

I just want TB12 to throw for 500 yards so he can overtake Brees for the passing record

I see your logic here it is not entirely correct. What happens if the Texans beat their opponent?.. If I'm not mistaken, that would send the Steelers to face the #1 seed which would be the Patriots if they win this weekend. Even though there is only one week left in the regular season there is still a lot to be decided and the Patriots will need a little bit of luck whether they end up with the 1 or number 2 seed to not have to face both the Ravens and the Steelers in the playoffs.
