The Steelers’ playoff fate won’t likely come down to a tiebreaker

Thanks to their exhilarating 28-21 triumph over the rival Bengals last Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium, the Steelers secured their first AFC North victory of the 2018 season.

Pretty exciting and important, right? And if Pittsburgh can sweep its last three division match-ups over the final 10 weeks, that would go a long way towards Holding Down the North for a third-straight year.

Yes, but those other AFC match-ups as well as the two remaining NFC clashes will be equally as important. Why’s that, you ask? That pesky, pesky 21-21 tie the Steelers had against Cleveland in Week 1.
