Quote:Why do you think this?


Simply put, should the Steelers beat the Bengals they are most likely the final seed even if the Bills win out and the Steelers lose to the Broncos. The only way for the Bills to beat out the Steelers in this event would be if the Steelers also lose a game to either the Ravens or Browns, and that's not likely to happen.


 

If you're talking about the Bills beating out either the Jets or Chiefs for the final seed with the Steelers taking the 5th seed, they'll need those teams to lose games as they do not control their own destiny. The Chiefs would have to lose two games, but they face the Chargers, Ravens, Browns and Raiders so that's not likely to happen. The Jets also have to lose two games, but I'll admit that's easier as they probably lose to the Patriots and would also be losing to the Bills of course as a result of the Bills winning out. Still, most likely the WCs would be the Steelers and Chiefs.
