The Pittsburgh Steelers officially need help qualifying for the playoffs as they enter their final two games of the regular season following the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. They can still win the division or do the Wild Card.

Both scenarios hinge on the Steelers winning their last two games against the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.

Winning the division

This scenario is solely based on the Steelers winning two games while the Cincinnati Bengals losing their last two games. The Bengals face the Kansas City Chiefs at home, then the Browns on the road.

It will be a tough sell with how well the Bengals have played and how bad the Browns have played. Root for chefs this weekend.

Get a wildcard

This scenario has a few teams but is plausible. In short, three teams only need to lose one game for the Steelers to advance (at least) to the last wildcard spot: the Miami Dolphins, the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Miami Dolphins: @Titans, Patriots

• Most likely, they lose at least one game.

Los Angeles Chargers: Broncos, @Raiders

• Most likely to win both games, but they face two division opponents.
• Either the Chargers or Raiders MUST lose in week 17 or this scenario is over (they will face each other in week 18).

Las Vegas Raiders: @Colts, Chargers

• Carson Wentz is potentially absent for the Colts, but they have won 8 of their last 10 games.
• Either the Raiders or Chargers MUST lose in week 17 or this scenario is over (they will face each other in week 18).

Each team only has to lose one game to put the Steelers above them by losing one game less. They will have an equal number of wins, but the Steelers will have fewer losses. The Ravens came out of this scenario thanks to the Steelers defeating them in Week 18, losing their only game.

I think the Wildcard scenario is the easiest, provided the Chargers have a bad game. The easiest and best scenario is to host a playoff game, so keep an eye out for the Bengals over the past two weeks.
