So are the Steelers eliminated and there is nothing they can do to make the playoffs?
They are not eliminated, but they no longer control their own fate.
For Pittsburgh to make the playoffs they need to win next week at Cleveland, plus the Jets need to lose to Buffalo.
If the Jets beat the Bills then they are in, and the Steelers are eliminated regardless of what they do.
Kansas City clinched a playoff spot today.
Houston is virtually assured of the #4 seed, but the Colts are still technically alive. Indy needs a very long list of outcomes to all be in their favor to make the playoffs:
- Jacksonville to beat New Orleans today;
- Denver beats Cincinnati Monday night;
- and then next week:
- Colts beat Tennessee;
- Texans lose to Jacksonville;
- Miami beats the Patriots;
- Denver beats San Diego;
- Atlanta beats New Orleans;
- Cincinnati loses to Baltimore; and
- Jets lose at Buffalo
