9. Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens Continue to Put Pressure on the Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati now possesses just a half game lead over Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North. It also has to host Denver next week before closing the regular season in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. This means that Ben Roethlisberger and Co. control their own destiny in the playoff race.
As it relates to the Ravens, they will need both the Steelers and Bengals to lose a game while winning out in order to grab the division title. Baltimore?s final two games are also easier than its AFC North counterparts. John Harbaugh?s squad travels to Houston to take on the Texans next week before hosting Cleveland in Week 17.

10. Philadelphia Could Miss Out on the Playoffs


If the playoffs were to start today, the Eagles would be on the outside looking in. Following a horrendous home loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Chip Kelly?s squad has now dropped two consecutive games by a combined 21 points. And while Philadelphia has a rather easy remaining schedule, the Redskins and Giants on the road, it will need some help in order to make it to the playoffs.
Dallas needs to drop one of its remaining two games in order for Philadelphia to win the division. Philadelphia is also one game behind both Green Bay and Seattle for a wild card spot and loses the head-to-head tiebreaker against both teams. There is a scenario at play here that could see Philadelphia miss the playoffs with an 11-5 record.
