Head to head is if there are only 2 teams tied.

3 or more I believe it comes down to alternate tiebreakers

They can get in with BAL, MIA, and SD losses. All three must lose and they must win. I can see it happening.

nahh Balty might get in by bengals letting them in MIA no way loses to JETS lol no way can Jets pull off a win with that screw up Geno barley beat the Browns losing game s/u 1st half

any other AFC team Jets lose Titans , jaguars , Bills Ravens Colts

now KC @ Chargers well sure as shit emptied out offense before facing colts now chargers at home can get in with a win 9-7 finish

sorry jack steelers have as much of shot as making playoffs as yankees did

ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PIT win + MIA loss + BAL loss + SD loss

ok let me see whats the odds of this happening

10 -1 Chargers LOSE to Chiefs maybe but doubt it if KC comes up empty on offense again

Bengals Ravens met up last year week 17 both teams went bench and Cincy still won

and how far can steelers go in playoffs ? 6th seed will be playing at #3 seed then next #2 seed
