Yes if the Steelers win out and the Bengals win out the Bengals would be eliminated due to head to head tie breaker with the Steelers first.
Frankly if KC wins today you don’t have to worry about what anyone else does. Just beat the Texans and you are in. Lose you are out.
Putting yourself in position to win a Super Bowl is much more important than beating the Steelers in the last game of the season. If they don’t sit them it’s not going to be because they want to beat the Steelers it would be because Harbaugh doesn’t believe in it.
They would also own the Colts on division record in that scenario. It also wouldn’t be a three way tie. The Texans would be a game a head of the Colts and Jags.
Most likely in. If the Bengals win out and Steelers lose one of their last two and the Bills beat Miami the Bengals would get in over the Colts even if they win next week.
Steelers winning doesn’t hurt the Colts. The most they can get to is 10 wins which the Colts will have to have to make the playoffs and the Colts own that tie breaker. The Steelers getting to 10 wins would actually help the Colts because they could eliminate the Bengals if they get to 10 wins.
I am guessing they put the Bills and Miami on Sunday night. Wonder if the Colts either go in the 4:00 window or play Saturday with the Jags in that double header.
