Comment on Steelers Can’t Clinch Playoffs In Week 16 — But Early Berth Still Possible by mwahahaaa

In reply to Zach. Look at the playoff simulators like the one the Athletic put together. The Steelers have a magic number of 3, with no other tie-breaker relevant at this stage except the record against common opponents, which the Ravens win. That is why a tie will always go to the Ravens, and we have to have a better record that them to win the North. The easiest way for that to happen is for the Ravens to lose to both the Pats and Packers, and the Steelers to beat the Browns.
