AFC Playoff Picture: A Steelers Fan’s Rooting Guide To NFL Week 16
They can finish as the #1 seed if the Panthers lose both of their remaining games, while they finish 14-2 as well. And it’s still not going to be enough: They need help from the Bucs against the Bears and the 49ers against the Lions. Things around them will fall as they may, but the Chiefs have calmly taken care of their own end and punched their ticket to the postseason.

No. 3 seed: If the Broncos lose to Cincinnati on Monday and beat San Diego, they would be 11-5. They’ll be doing it without Andy Dalton. The Bengals would need to lose two, the Steelers win two, the Broncos lose to the Chargers, and the Chiefs win out for that to happen. The East is simple, the Washington Redskins (at Philadelphia) need a win over their division rival tonight and the division is theirs.
If they were to win, the Arizona Cardinals (vs. Green Bay) would lock up no worse than a No. 2 seed, which comes with a bye. The Broncos play the Bengals this weekend in a battle of backups. Another scenario: If the Bengals beat the Broncos on Monday, the Steelers could sneak in with another Broncos loss (to the Chargers in Week 17) and a win over the Browns. This would leave the Broncos and Patriots with 12-4 records.
The Denver Broncos had a three-game lead on the Chiefs three weeks ago, but they are a Monday Night Football loss away from dropping into the wild-card race.
Green Bay Packers: The Packers are in the playoffs, but what’s the seeding? However, nine consecutive wins later, they are a top-10 favorite to win the title. The pressure is now on the Minnesota Vikings, as the team is 9-5 and holds the second wild card spot in the NFC.
If the Texans lose to Tennessee, that would open the door for the Colts and Jaguars. The 34-0 victory improved the team to 8-7 on the season and puts the Texans as the No. 4 seed in the AFC Playoffs. That’s where the Chiefs are most likely to see some help.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Believe it or not, the Jaguars are still alive. Here’s a team-by-team breakdown of playoff scenarios as Week 16 winds down. Fighting for a spot are the 9-5 Kansas City Chiefs, who are fortunate to host the perpetually struggling Cleveland Browns at Arrowhead Stadium. The Jets can clinch their wild-card spot with a Week 17 win over the Bills or a Steelers loss. They can win their division by winning out, which means beating the Packers in week 17, or by both teams losing in week 16 and the Vikings still beating GB in week 17.
With a Chiefs win and a Jets loss, the Chiefs can clinch a playoff spot.
The New England Patriots have dealt with multiple injuries to starters on both sides of the ball, but they still have future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady under center. Will it be #1 or #2?

KUSA-Given the relatively weak opponents their AFC playoff competitors were playing Sunday, the Denver Broncos couldn’t have asked for much more.
