How much does Steelers-Titans game actually mean? A Super Bowl berth, says history

Every NFL fan is eagerly waiting to watch the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers take on the unbeaten Tennessee Titans in Week 7. While fans know the game will have big implications on the AFC, the result of the contest could actually determine which team makes the Super Bowl in 2020.

That’s what history tells us, at least. The Steelers-Titans game marks the fifth game in NFL history in which two undefeated teams have squared off in Week 7 or later. The last four times that happened, the team that won the game wound up going to the Super Bowl, according to NFL Research.
