The Pittsburgh Steelers' overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday left the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers with one playoff spot to play for on Sunday night — or two, if they tie.
At least one of the two AFC West rivals will join Pittsburgh in the NFL playoffs. If the Chargers win, they're in. If the Raiders win, they're in.
But in the NFL's nightmare scenario, enabled by Pittsburgh's win and the Colts' stunning loss to Jacksonville, the Chargers and Raiders could play for a tie and both get in as the AFC's final two wild card teams — at the expense of the Steelers.
