The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a very good chance of qualifying for the playoffs, but they won’t be able to do so in Week 14. With a bye to the Indianapolis Coltson, the Steelers have a more than 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, but this week won’t be a game-changing event.
If the Colts had lost to the New England Patriots, they may have won the game, but with a record of 6-7, Pittsburgh might lose and forfeit the tiebreaker. Due to their victory in Indianapolis, the Colts have the advantage in the tiebreaker over the Steelers.
The Steelers need to defeat the Browns in order to have clinch situations against the Philadelphia Eagles. No matter what, they will qualify for the playoffs if they win two more games over the remaining games of the season. For now, Pittsburgh’s reward for this week is to extend their lead over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North to two games and formally terminate the Browns’ season in a rematch.
