If San Diego is already eliminated and Denver is already a lock, do you happen to know why a SD win puts Pittsburgh in the playoffs?
I have not a clue...the matchup stuff is black art voodoo...
Only some maintenance guy at the NFL headquarters knows...he switches it all up at night...likely to be in division/out of division won-lost on toadal points vs. etc.

From ESPN.com....
3. A Chargers win (note: although Chargers have been eliminated, if they win vs. Broncos and they, the Chiefs and the Steelers all finish at 10-6, you would break division ties first. Chargers would win tiebreaker vs. Chiefs based on common opponents [8-4 vs 7-5] and that would eliminate the Chiefs. They would then go to tiebreaker vs. Steelers, which Pittsburgh would win based on its head-to-head win vs. Chargers).
