Steelers/NFL
The AFC North will send three teams to the playoffs. Baltimore’s 20-10 win over the Browns, clinched the No. 6 seed in the AFC with a 10-6 record.
A win for the Steelers tonight vs Cincinnati, and they host Baltimore next weekend as the No. 3 seed. A loss vs the Bengals and Pittsburgh travels to Indianapolis as the No. 5 seed. Neither is a bad scenario for the Steelers.
For the Bengals, they can still finish anywhere from No. 2, No. 3 or No. 5 seed, pending what Denver does against the Oakland Raiders.
- Bengals clinch No. 2 seed and first round bye with a win vs Pittsburgh and Broncos loss to the Raiders.
- Bengals clinch No. 3 seed with a win vs Pittsburgh and a Broncos win vs Raiders
- Bengals clinch No. 5 seed with loss to Steelers.
