Steelers road to the playoffs complicated but not impossible

With the Pittsburgh Steelers 16-13 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, they remain in the playoff hunt. Everything that had to go right on Sunday did so the team heads into Week 18 with a three-item to-do list in order to make the playoffs and only one is in their control.

First up, the Steelers must beat the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh host Cleveland in the season finale and you know the Browns would love to play spoiler.

Next, the Buffalo Bills must beat the New England Patriots. This one seems simple enough assuming the Bills still have something to play for in terms of playoff seeding and they do not rest their starters.

Finally, and this one might be the toughest, the New York Jets have to find a way to beat the Miami Dolphins. Some are reporting a tie here will get the Steelers in as well. Depending on the status of the Dolphins quarterbacks, this is going to be a big ask for New York.

Let us know in the comments if you think the Steelers will make the playoffs.
