Steelers Can Clinch AFC North in Week 17 With Win or Ravens Loss
New England's rally past Baltimore set up Pittsburgh's straightforward clinching options.
Overview
- Pittsburgh secures the AFC North in Week 17 with a victory in Cleveland or if Baltimore loses at Green Bay.
- The Steelers sit 9-6 after upsetting the Lions, extending their winning streak to three and Mike Tomlin's no-losing-season run to 19 years.
- A Packers win would drop the Ravens to 7-9, giving Pittsburgh the division regardless of the final week.
- If Baltimore beats Green Bay to reach 8-8, a Steelers win over the Browns would still clinch the division before the Week 18 meeting.
- New England's 28-24 comeback over Baltimore clinched the Patriots a playoff berth and the No. 2 AFC seed behind Denver, while Lamar Jackson exited early with a reported back injury.
