27 Ways the Steelers can be Elminated

I came up with 27 possible ways that the Steelers could be eliminated from the playoffs in the final two weeks of the regular season, the likeliest of which condone the Steelers losing one more game, which I don't think is going to happen. I didn't factor in ties, because if there is a tie in the final two weeks of the regular season then I'm just gonna shut off the TV and say great year, okay not really, but yah I'm not even going to try to wrap my mind around a tie, an event that only happens like once or twice a decade. AND THE EAGLES...DON'T LOSE...NEITHER DO THE BENGALS...ITS A TIE! Anyways here's what I came up with:

Ways the Steelers can be eliminated:

1. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND W17 @Dolphins

2. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Broncos win W16 @Eagles
3. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Broncos win W17 vs. Chiefs
4. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Jaguars win W16 @Patriots
5. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Jaguars win W17 @Browns
6. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Jets win W16 @Colts
7. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Jets win W17 vs. Bengals
8. Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Titans win W16 vs. Chargers AND W17 @Seahawks
9.Steelers lose W16 vs. Ravens AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots

10. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Broncos win W16 @Eagles
11. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Broncos win W17 vs. Chiefs
12. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Jaguars win W16 @Patriots
13. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Jaguars win W17 @Browns
14. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Jets win W16 @Colts
15. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Jets win W17 vs. Bengals
16. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Titans win W16 vs. Chargers AND W17 @Seahawks
17. Steelers lose W17 @Dolphins AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots

18. Ravens win W17 @Raiders AND Denver win W16 @Eagles AND W17 vs. Chiefs
19. Ravens win W17 @Raiders AND Jaguars win W16 @Patriots AND W17 @Browns
20. Ravens win W17 @Raiders AND Jets win W16 @Colts AND W17 @Bengals
21. Ravens win W17 @Raiders AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots

22. Broncos win W16 @Eagles AND W17 vs. Chiefs AND Jaguars win W16 @Patriots AND W17 @Browns
23. Broncos win W16 @Eagles AND W17 vs. Chiefs AND Jets win W16 @Colts AND W17 @Bengals
24. Broncos win W16 @Eagles AND W17 vs. Chiefs AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots

25. Jaguars win W16 @Patriots AND W17 @Browns AND Jets win W16 @Colts AND W17 @Bengals
26. Jaguars win W16 @Patriots AND W17 @Browns AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots

27. Jets win W16 @Colts AND W17 @Bengals AND Texans win W16 @Dolphins AND W17 vs. Patriots


***If Texans win out and Steelers win out both have a 9-7 record and a 6-6 conference record. The next tie-breaker is common opponents as long as there is at least four. There is four Bengals, Dolphins, Raiders, and Titans. The Texans have a 4-1 record against these teams and the Steelers are 2-3 against these teams. Therefore, Texans would get the tie-breaker because of better winning percentage against common opponents.

*****IF I MISSED ANY POSSIBLE SCENARIO PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND NOTE THAT I NONE OF THESE ARE OFFICIAL, JUST WHAT I CAME UP WITH*****

So basically W16: Go Ravens, Broncos Jaguars, Jets, Titans, and Texans
and W17: Go Ravens, Dolphins, Broncos, Jaguars, Jets (unless Bengals don't clinch W16), Titans, and Texans
