Clinch scenario #1: Packers defeat Ravens
If the Packers defeat the Ravens on Saturday, Baltimore would drop to 7-9 on the season, giving the 9-6 Steelers enough of an advantage that, regardless of the outcome of the final two games, Pittsburgh would win the AFC North.
Clinch scenario #2: Steelers defeat Cleveland Browns
If the Ravens manage to pull off a win over the Packers to advance to 8-8, a Week 17 win against the Browns would give the Steelers a one-game lead over Baltimore, regardless of the outcome of their Week 18 head-to-head clash.
Regardless of which scenario is most likely to work out, the Steelers hold a clear path to locking up a playoff spot, and fans should be excited heading into Week 17.
