Week 17 is already in the books for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the news wasn’t great. The Steelers got blown out by the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day while the Baltimore Ravens blew out the Houston Texans to take over the lead in the AFC North.
But for the Steelers, playoff seeding involves more than just what the Steelers and Ravens do. Where Pittsburgh ends up playing in the first round of the playoffs also has to do with how the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers finish their seasons. Here’s your rooting guide for Week 17.
The Broncos go on the road to go against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are clinging to the narrowest of hopes they can make the playoffs so you can bet they are going to be going all out. If the Bengals win, their probability to make the playoffs is still only 12 percent but this team won’t quit.
The other game on the schedule for the Steelers to watch is the Los Angeles Chargers on the road taking on the New England Patriots. This will be a tough challenge for a Patriots team with nothing to play for.
