With a big win against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the Steelers keep their playoff chances, a pretty impressive feat considering they lost three straight to bad teams.
According to the New York Times’ playoff simulator, the Steelers currently have a 28 percent chance to make the playoffs.
If they win, that goes up to 72 percent. Even if they lose, they’ll still have a 19 percent chance to make it to the postseason.
So, how can they get there? Ian Rapoport laid out each team’s chances.
Here are the Steelers:
Steelers win and Buffalo losses or,
Steelers win and Jacksonville losses or ties or,
Steelers win and Houston and Indianapolis ties or,
Steelers wins and Jacksonville losses and Houston and Indianapolis doesn’t end in a tie or,
Jacksonville losses and Denver wins and Houston and Indianapolis doesn’t end in a tie.
Here are all the playoff scenarios, per Rapoport.
