The Pittsburgh Steelers will not play until Sunday night but with 14 games completed in the opening week they have now secured a playoff spot before taking the field for their primetime contest.
The Steelers reached the playoffs on Sunday afternoon, thanking the Kansas City Chiefs for beating the Miami Dolphins 33-27. The Statilers entered Week 14 and needed a win or tie against the Buffalo Bills to make playoffs or a defeat on Sunday afternoon or a tie by the Dolphins or Las Vegas Raiders or a defeat by the Tennessee Titans.
The Titans won their opening Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders play against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
This marks the first time since the 2017 season that Steelers have made playoffs. The last two seasons they missed making the playoffs with 9-6-1 and 8-8 records respectively.
The Steelers will have a chance to top seed at the AFC on Sunday if they can beat domestic bills. If they beat Bill on Sunday night and the Cleveland Browns lose to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night, they will also have a chance to win the AFC North in Week 14.
