The Miami Dolphins’ 20–12 loss to the Houston Texans has greatly raised the Pittsburgh Steelers’ prospects of securing a postseason berth on Sunday. If Pittsburgh defeats the Philadelphia Eagles or the Indianapolis Colts fall short against the Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh will secure a postseason berth. Any seed is still available to them.
The Dolphins will now need to hope that clubs like the Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos lose enough games to qualify for the playoffs. However, as teams go farther apart, the number of teams that may qualify for the AFC field keeps decreasing.
In addition to the Dolphins’ defeat, the Baltimore Ravens’ victory over the New York Giants has moved them one game closer to the Steelers. The Steelers will secure a top four seed in the AFC playoffs and win the AFC North by a landslide if they defeat Baltimore next week. Additionally, it would guarantee them a home playoff game.
