Looks like if Pittsburgh, the Jets, and Cincy all finish 9-7 and Pittsburgh beats Cinci, then Pittsburgh is in regardless of where the wins come from.
However something good I just discovered, if Pittsburgh and Cinci finish 9-7, Pitt is in regardless of the outcome against Cinci. If Pittsburgh loses to Cinci but beats Dallas and Cleveland, and Cinci loses to the Ratbirds, Pittsburgh is in based on a better division record, (3-3 against Cincy's 2-4). Of course the easiest thing for Pittsburgh to do to get in is WIN OUT

We really just have to beat the Bungholes. That gives us a one-game lead and the tiebreaker. Only way for them to beat us if that happens is if we lose to the Cowboys AND Clowns.
If we lose to Cleveland with a playoff berth on the line, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.

Just win out. Simple as that.
Just win vs Bengals and Browns and they are in the playoffs. Simple as that!!!Originally Posted by NEPAsteeler
The game vs Dallas is not a must win
It may not be a must win, but it is important. A win can keep Pittsburgh from being eliminated by a Cinci loss, and they could still make it in with a win vs Cleveland and a Cinci loss to B-more, a very reasonable scenario. A win tommorow could also allow Pittsburgh to clinch a berth with a win next week, thus allowing starters to rest
