If the Pittsburgh Steelers right the ship and storm back with a big win Sunday night over the Baltimore Ravens, they will secure the AFC’s No. 4 seed. From there, all eyes will turn to their opponent in the Wild Card round, the No. 5 seed.
Playing the final game of the regular season, Pittsburgh and Baltimore will know who the winner will face hours before kickoff. But even days away, the path to the fifth seed is becoming clear.
Mathematically, four teams can be the No. 5 seed: the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, and Houston Texans.
