This week is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ formal chance to punch their ticket to the postseason. Although they have multiple routes to the playoffs, Week 14 may put a stop to any conjecture.
A victory over the Philadelphia Eagles would be the simplest route for the Steelers to secure a spot. The Eagles are 11-2 after a close victory over the Carolina Panthers, and they haven’t triumphed in Philadelphia since 1965. However, the Steelers only need to win to secure their postseason spot.
The alternative situation in which they lose is a little trickier. First, the Denver Broncos must defeat the Indianapolis Colts. Due to their victory over the Steelers, the Colts have the tiebreaker in a head-to-head matchup.
The Miami Dolphins would have to lose to the Houston Texans in addition to the Colts. While neither of those eventualities is implausible, they do call for outside assistance. With a victory, the Steelers can take care of their own affairs and put an end to any concerns about missing the playoffs.
