Are the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff chances in jeopardy?

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a completely avoidable loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, losing 24-19 in a game they could have won many times against Cleveland.

Now they have to play 4 more divisional games and 6 games overall, with some of the league’s best teams, the Chiefs and Eagles, remaining on their schedule.

According to Fox Sport’s Jason McIntyre, the Steelers will have a tough time turning their 8-3 record into a possible playoff berth. During an appearance on Colin Cowherd’s The Herd, McIntyre expressed his belief that there are only two winnable games left on the Steelers’ schedule.

“By the way, have you looked at the Steelers schedule? » said McIntyre. “I’m not saying the sky is falling, but could you get two more wins on their schedule? There you go, find me the next two wins they have.”

McIntyre then included Miami, who currently sits 4 games behind the Steelers, as the team that will eliminate them from the playoffs at the end of Week 18.

9-8, does that get them in? Are they in Miami or Denver?’” McIntyre said.

The Steelers have a tough schedule, with the Bengals twice, Crows and Browns once each, the Eagles and the Chiefs. That being said, they have proven that both sides of the ball can compete most nights and should be able to win at least three of their last six. I have no problem with them getting to 11-6, as the AFC race is the least competitive it’s been in years. Certainly, a team like Miami shouldn’t pose any problems for the Steelers, as they would likely have to win every remaining game to have a chance of making the playoffs.
