Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Allowing that the Steelers win, these are some of the best-case scenarios for them where fellow wild-card hopefuls are concerned.

Bengals (8-6), Today at BroncosThe skinny: Broncos win gives Steelers chance to KO Bengals next week.

Broncos (8-6) Today vs. BengalsThe skinny: Can clinch one wild card with win, Chiefs loss and Jaguars loss.

Jaguars (8-6) Today vs. PatriotsThe skinny: Just need them to lose, period. Unfortunately, Jags 5-1 at home.

Jets (8-6) Tomorrow at DolphinsThe skinny: Better if no team wins 10 games. Jets are one of those teams.

Chiefs (7-7) Last night at RaidersThe skinny: About only team against whom Steelers own a tiebreaker.

Bills (7-7) Today vs. TitansThe skinny: If the Jaguars or Jets win this weekend, loser here is eliminated.

Titans (7-7) Today at BillsThe skinny: Root for Titans, who own worse AFC W-L -- 4-6 like Steelers -- than Bills (5-5).

Note: All seven teams above were ahead of the Steelers entering Week 16 and are arranged based on tiebreakers.
