3. Losses for other teams in the Playoff hunt
Winning a championship is a goal most teams set for themselves at the beginning of the season. The first step in attaining that goal is reaching the playoffs. For teams like the Steelers, qualifying for the postseason will require additional help from other franchises in the league. The combination of games won in the division and conference ultimately decides who will be worthy of clinching a playoff berth.
The AFC playoff picture grows more completive as the season progresses. As of now, the Steelers are four spots out from clinching a wild card berth. All the teams ranked ahead of the Steelers five losses or more. The Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos, and Indianapolis Colts will all be teams to watch as the 2021 NFL season ends. A loss received by any of these teams could change the conference standing juristically. If the Steelers plan to compete in the postseason, they will need assistance from others across the league.
This Holiday season always finds a way to bring the best out of an individual. Mike Tomlin and the Steelers hope that they are fortunate enough to benefit from the holiday energy. Reaching the playoffs is an attenable goal, and the Steelers have every intention of making it happen. As families across the world prepare themselves for the season of giving, the fans of Pittsburgh hope to see the Steelers take part in the spirit of winning.
