Yes. There is only one scenario left. Pats and Jets beat Dolphins,
Bills beat Pats, Seahawks beat Jets. Steelers beat Ravens and
Browns.

After this week, with one spot left, the math is pretty simple:
1. We need to be the only team that gets to 9-8.
That's it. We lose every tiebreaker, so that's the math (ignoring ties).

Or the Steelers and Dolphins could win out and the Chargers lose out. I believe that would give everyone who didn't win a division 9 losses except the Steelers, Dolphins, and Ravens. Or the Chargers and Dolphins both lose out and either the Patriots lose to the Bills or the Jets lose to Seattle (or both, in which case the Steelers get the sixth seed). Oh, and your scenario doesn't need anything from the Titans because they play the Jaguars in week 18 and the loser of that game will have 9 losses.
The key is there can only be at most one other team with 8 losses, because they all hold the tiebreaker over the Steelers.

From what I can gather, in order for them to make the playoffs, the following needs to happen:
- The Steelers need to win out.
- The Dolphins need to lose to the Jets and the Patriots.
- The Patriots need to lose to the Bills.
- The Jets need to lose to Seattle.
- The Titans need to lose one game (either Cowboys or Jax).

Well, the Packers didn't look too good about 2 minutes before halftime, but they rallied and got the W 26-20!
So, the Steelers got the trifecta. Still alive.....

Further evidence of the Twilight Zone of a season this is... The un-surest thing out of these three is GB beating the Dolphish. Wow.

For those eternal optimists who are still holding out hopes for the 7th seed, here's the rooting interests for this weekend.
Steelers over Raiders
Bengals over Patriots
Packers over Dolphins
If any of those 3 don't happen, the Steelers are eliminated.
In the "nice to have" category, hope the Texans upset the reeling Titans.
Too many other things have to go their way after this, so in the event we're still ticking after this week, we can look at it again.
To all my Steelers brothers and sisters out there, I wish you a happy, healthy, joyous holiday!
