Going into Week 12 of the NFL regular season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were sitting pretty on top in the AFC North and as the No. 4 seed in the conference. However, a loss to the Chicago Bears combined with a Baltimore Ravens win, and the Steelers are not only out of the top spot in the division but now find themselves on the bubble to even make the playoffs at all.

Here are the current playoff standings in the AFC heading into Week 13.

Nothing gets easier for the Steelers the rest of the way. This week, they go against the Buffalo Bills, followed by two games against the Ravens and one against the Detroit Lions. The only breaks they get are against the Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins and at this point neither of those is a sure thing.
