Here’s How Steelers Can Clinch Playoff Spot On Sunday Against Eagles

Pittsburgh has a big matchup this weekend

The Pittsburgh Steelers can control their own destiny throughout the rest of the season.

Pittsburgh is 10-3 on the season and currently has the top spot in the AFC North. The Steelers are going to have a tough matchup on their hands on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Pittsburgh won’t be at full strength with George Pickens set to miss the contest. But, the Steelers certainly still have a chance to win the game, they are that good.

Philadelphia is having a great year in its own right. The Eagles are 11-2 and have won nine straight games heading into the Week 15 showdown.

The matchup will be a good one to watch to see how these two contenders compare to one another. Plus, there’s more on the line for Pittsburgh. The Steelers have a chance to clinch a playoff spot, as shared by ESPN.

“Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3),” ESPN shared. “The matchup: at Philadelphia on Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, Fox. How the Steelers can clinch a playoff berth: Win or tie OR (Miami Dolphins) loss or tie at (Houston Texans) (1 p.m. ET, Sunday) + (Indianapolis Colts) loss or tie at (Denver Broncos) (4:25 p.m. ET, Sunday).”
