Kansas City can actually still miss the playoffs entirely if they lose out and Denver wins out. That would be so sick.

 

Edit: There's still one or two ways they could be the #7 seed. I think if Jax loses next week?

 

As much as I hate the Bengals now, I'd love to see the Chiefs lose out.  But I really don't want to see them again.  Not because I don't think we can beat them, especially at home.  Just because I'm tired of their ***** faces.

We only really need one team to win, don't we?
 

Need both to clinch this week. At the very least one of Cincy or Pittsburgh better lose today. We may be looking at a win the division or miss the playoffs entirely scenario otherwise.

 

The Jags are playing Tennessee next week without Levis, and the Bengals/Steelers would both potentially play teams resting starters (neither the Ravens or Browns can improve their playoff positioning)

We can clinch a playoff spot with Pittsburgh and Cincy loss. I think it's #6 regardless and then play for #2 next week. 

Feels like the Steelers game should be the tough one Tomlin refuses to have a losing record and drags that team screaming across the finish line each year, Chiefs you'd think would be competent enough to pull it off against this version of the Bengals.

 

Though if the one that doesn't work out ends up being the Chiefs it'd at least be amusing.

If Steelers and Bengals win today, then the Bills will actually kind of be in trouble next week. The can miss the playoffs with

 

- Buffalo loss

AND any 2 of

- Jaguars win (at Titans)

- Bengals win (vs Browns)

- Steelers win (at Ravens might rest starters)

 

The Browns will be resting starters as well, won't they? They're guaranteed fifth seed.

So if Miami loses next week, do they have the same chance of missing the playoffs or is everyone just doom and gloom about us as usual?

I don’t think the Ravens rest their starters completely next week.  They’ve already clinched a first round bye.  Two weeks off and rust can start to form and they are looking like the most well oiled machine in the NFL right now.  I’m sure starters will be on a short leash but that’s all they might need to beat the Steelers.

 

Ive also watched Lamar’s backup on NUMEROUS occasions come in and keep the Ravens in playoff contention.

Kinda crazy to think about that
