The Steelers could clinch their second-straight playoff appearance this week.

There are two scenarios in which this could happen. The first way to clinch a playoff berth is by defeating or tying with the Eagles, who they play at 4:25 p.m. Sunday.

But, even if the Steelers lose, there’s another way to clinch. This scenario has two legs: the Dolphins need to lose or tie with the Texans and the Colts need to lose or tie with the Broncos.

The Steelers cannot clinch the AFC North this week, but could next week.
