You could say things are getting pretty serious. Week 15 of the NFL regular season is upon us and the Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a huge stretch of three games in just 10 days. First up are the Philadelphia Eagles and the Steelers control their own playoff destiny.
Win and get in. If the Steelers beat the Eagles, they clinch a playoff birth with three games left to play. But what is the Steelers slip up on the road?
The Steelers can still clinch a playoff spot with a loss but they need help from the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts.
The Dolphins need to lose to or tie the Houston Texans and the Colts have to lose to or tie the Denver Broncos. These are both very possible scenarios given the Colts and Broncos are fighting for their own playoff lives. The two losses might be an easer road to clinch over a Steelers win given how good the Eagles are and the game is in Philadelphia.
