Steelers clinch spot in the playoffs without playing a snap

The Pittsburgh Steelers headed into Week 14 with a great shot to clinch a playoff berth and even a chance to wrap up the AFC North crown if a few things fell their way. We won’t know about the AFC North title until later on but thanks to the Kansas City Chiefs beating the Miami Dolphins, the Steelers have secured a spot in the playoffs before they even play the Buffalo Bills.

If the Steelers can beat the Bills tonight and the Baltimore Ravens can find a way to beat the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh would secure another AFC North crown. The Steelers have missed the playoffs completely the last two years.
