AFC playoff picture: Where does Pittsburgh currently factor in?

It feels like it was only yesterday when fans were speculating over the Pittsburgh Steelers Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcon’s, but with the trade deadline around the corner, and only a few weeks away from being half-way through the 2024 season, the playoff picture is beginning to take shape.

Currently, the Pittsburgh Steelers are tied with the Baltimore Ravens for the top spot in the AFC North.  The Ravens currently hold the tie breaker over the Steelers, due to Baltimore having a better divisional record of 1-0.  With this in mind, Pittsburgh currently holds the top Wild Card playoff spot as the 5th seed in the AFC overall.

There is currently a four-way tie for the second-overall seed in the AFC playoff picture.  Pittsburgh could realistically take the number one seed if the team can defeat the Chiefs on Christmas day and Ravens twice this season.
