The Chicago Bears clinched a playoff berth this past Saturday, but now they can win the division Sunday even with a little bit of help. There are three possibilities in Week 17.

However, that hot start gave way to a brutal midseason slump that saw the Steelers lose 5 of their next 7 games. Not only did the Steelers fall to 6-6 and see their lead in the division disappear — they were tied with the Ravens at 6-6 — their defense fell apart.

For the first time since 2020, the Pittsburgh Steelers would clinch the AFC North with a victory over the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field in Week 17.
