Playoff Scenarios: Who the Steelers could play in the AFC Wild Card Round

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the 2020 AFC North Champions. By defeating the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the Steelers won their division championship which guarantees them one of the top four playoff seeds and a home playoff game.

Heading into Week 17, the Steelers will finish either the 2nd or 3rd position in the American Football Conference. While the Steelers finishing as the #3 seed is much more likely, their opponent for the Wild Card Round could actually be any one of five teams depending on the final week of the season.

Before diving into the scenarios for the Steelers opponents, let’s take a look at what will determine if the Steelers are the #2 or #3 seed in the AFC.
