The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost three straight games to fall from the top seed in the AFC back to the third seed. The Cincinnati Bengals were the latest team to knock off the formerly 11-0 Steelers and that, coupled with Buffalo’s Saturday afternoon win, puts Buffalo in the driver’s seat for the two seed.
If Buffalo wins out, they are the two seed. They can clinch the number two seed in Week 16 if a few things go their way. For now, here are the standings:
