Almost, but not quite. If they can run the table, 9-7 might very well get them in the AFC playoffs. That's a pretty big "if", but the only team they're still going to face currently over .500 are the Bengals (8-4) in two weeks. Other than that, they have the Dolphins (6-6), Packers (5-6-1), and Browns (4-8) -- the only away game of those four is at Green Bay.
And if the NFL punishes The Steelers for Tomlins screw up by taking away a draft pick, next year will be worse.
