The Steelers at 9-3 could clinch a playoff spot this week. To do so, they must beat the Dallas Cowboys at Heinz Field and the Miami Dolphins and the New England Patriots both have to lose. That's the simple version because in the other scenario, Miami can tie, but then the Steelers need the Patriots and the New York Jets to lose. Pittsburgh Post Gazette To win the Division: Beat Baltimore on December 14th. If the Steelers lose to the Ravens, both teams will be tied in the following tiebreakers: Head to Head (1-1) Division Record (5-1 Assuming the Steelers beat Cleveland) Common Opponents (Baltimore is 6-3, Steelers 5-3 but Baltimore has to play the Redskins, Cowboys and Jaguars) If they tie here... Strength of Victory would be the next tie-breaker.
I called their last SB win 8 games out. I give them a very good shot this year. Without Cowher though, I wonder if Tomlin can do it. Or is the entire team coached by 86WARD?
