Steelers back in the wildcard after crazy win over Bengals

Thanks to a win by the New York Jets and a comback win in Cincinnati, the Pittsburgh Steelers are once again back in the AFC playoffs. The Jets trounced the Oakland Raiders and the Steelers snuck past the Bengals 16-10 and with five games left to play, Pittsburgh controls the final wild card spot.

1-New England Patriots

2-Baltimore Ravens

3-Houston Texans

4-Kansas City Chiefs

5-Buffalo Bills

6-Pittsburgh Steelers

Heres’s how the Steelers’ remaining schedule plays out.

Week 13-vs Cleveland Browns

Week 14-@ Arizona Cardinals

Week 15-vs Buffalo Bills

Week 16-@ New York Jets

Week 17-@ Baltimore Ravens

That’s two of five games against AFC playoff teams including the Ravens who might be the best team in the NFL. The margin for error with the Steelers is tiny. They really cannot afford to lose more than one of these last five games if they want to be sure they make the playoffs. It all starts next week when they try for some payback against the Browns after their Week 11 loss.
