The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 15 with a 10-3 record (6-1 with Russell Wilson under center) and their playoff chances looking like a lock, as NFL Next Gen Stats ranks them with a >99% chance to make the postseason in the 2024-25 NFL season.

Pittsburgh has an opportunity to maintain its two-game lead in the AFC North with a win today, one step closer to controlling their own destiny in the division against the Baltimore Ravens… but that’s not the only thing on the line this week, with an opportunity in arms reach to officially secure a playoff berth in Week 15.

Luckily, the team has some flexibility, as the Steelers have two paths toward a playoff berth in Week 15.
