If this week Patriots beat Dolphins, Jets beat Seahawks, and we beat Ravens.
Then next week if we beat Browns, Bills beat Patriots, and
Jets and Dolphins tie...... we get in
There is another way Steelers get in with a win vs Browns, Dolphins loss, Jets win

We will not be officially eliminated this week if the above happens like everyone is saying.

Pats win tomorrow and tie next week works for steelers as well, along with jets loss tomorrow and win or tie next week
To be fair, if the steelers needed a game to not end in a tie for them to make the playoffs, i’d be sweating bullets.* So i wouldn’t completely count them out in the reverse scenario either.

Gotta believe that next Sunday night's game will be titans-jags, winner take all for a playoff spot.
If things work out for steelers today, im thinking steelers, pats, jets all in same time slot next week

Playoffs or not, it would be great if the Steelers finally beat a team with a winning record.
Keep hope alive for playoffs, NHALS and their 1st win in 2023.

Wouldn't be unprecedented to be cheering for a tie the last week of the season to get in. Happened in 2018.
The Colts and Titans were both 9-6 heading into Week 17. The game got flexed to the Sunday night time slot and was billed as "winner to the playoffs." But a tie there would have greenlighted Pittsburgh into the dance.
No matter what the other results are, the Steelers have to concern themselves with what they can control, which is playing quality football on the road against the Ravens. A win in Baltimore goes a long way towards establishing belief in one another that they can get a victory on a big stage in a tough, hostile environment.

OK so the only thing that completely eliminates the Steelers before tomorrow night’s kickoff is a Dolphins win tomorrow.swissvale72 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 3:38 pmPats win tomorrow and tie next week works for steelers as well, along with jets loss tomorrow and win or tie next week
The Patriots must win, or it’s over.

Steelers History of Needing Help to Qualify (From Memory):
1976: Needed Raiders to beat Bengals to win division with 10-4 record, 9 game win streak....happened.
1977: Had lost at Riverfront Stadium to Bungs weekend before, needed moribund Oilers to beat Bungs in order to win division with 9-5 record...happened....Steelers sent Oilers all attache cases.
1989: Needed Raiders to lose final two games, Colts to lose to Saints in finale, and finally Bungs to lose at Vikings on Christmas night...all happened. Steelers wild card with 9-7 record.
1993: Steelers needed Pats to beat Dolphins (sound familiar) and Oilers to beat Jets on season's final weekend....Oilers win the Sunday nighter, Steelers are in the tournament.
2005: Steelers need to win final four games AND have both Chargers and Chiefs lose 2 of their final four...happened, Steelers qualify as wildcard, win 3 road games on way to One for the Thumb.
2013: Didn't work this time...Steelers needed Jets to win at Dolpins (sound familiar?), Ravens to lose to Bengals, Chargers to lose to Chiefs. Two of the three happened, looked good when that mother-fucker Ryan Succop was setting up to kick a 43 yard FG that would have sent Steelers to the playoffs. Bitch missed it and I've hated him ever since.
2015: Steelers, after losing to shitty Ravens with a shitty journeyman QB the week before, need shitty Bills to beat Jets in finale. Jets win!! Steelers are in!!
2021: Steelers need shitty Jaguars to beat heavily favored Colts and Raiders-Chargers NOT to tie, while beating the Ravens in Baltimore. Jags destroy Colts, Steelers beat Ravens in OT, then sweat our Raiders avoiding tie by beating Chargers as OT is about to expire.
This time...zero margin for errors, basically need six games to all go Steelers way. It can happen!!
