The Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff prospects are now assured after their 19–17 loss. The Steelers’ fate and their position as the fifth or sixth seed in the AFC will ultimately depend on their matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Steelers, who will be the fifth seed if the Chargers lose, will travel to Houston to play the struggling Houston Texans. Despite their struggles in recent weeks, Pittsburgh feels like a club that may win this game.
The Steelers will have to play the Baltimore Ravens in a rubber match for their season series if the Chargers win. Given that the Ravens are playing like a buzzsaw and the Steelers are moving in the other direction, that would be a difficult game. Pittsburgh might benefit from that experience.
In any case, when the Steelers drill and address their problems, they must put their own needs first. Nonetheless, it appears that this season is on its way to yet another poor outcome.
