After defeating the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers advanced to the second seed in the AFC. The Buffalo Bills, who suffered a 44-42 road loss to the Los Angeles Rams, are now tied with them.With the victory, Pittsburgh eliminated the Browns from playoff contention.
Due to their strength of win, the Bills currently hold the tiebreaker, but the Steelers have numerous opportunities to improve that. There aren’t enough opponents in common for that tiebreaker to apply, yet both clubs have the same conference record.
The Steelers begin the most difficult part of their schedule, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs in 11 days, but they will need to play their best games in the remaining four weeks if they are to secure the second spot in the AFC or maybe the top seed.
The Steelers will therefore find it difficult to keep up, particularly if George Pickens loses time during that timeframe. But if they want to pass the Chiefs or Bills in the standings, that’s what they’ll have to do.
