just lost the tv signal for several minutes.
No problems here. But a nasty evening in Baltimore. Not cold enough for snow, but chilly and windy and wet.

I hope I can make $15] tonight
Not an emergency for me. Only TV broadcasters
A quick look at potential 3-way ties involving Steelers:
Jacksonville 9-8. 6-6 conf record
Pittsburgh. 9-8. 6-6
Denver. 9-8. 6-6
Pittsburgh gets the last wildcard ... due to much superior Strength of Victory. Although they may have Common games tiebreaker, too. (I’m not spending time to figure Common games)
Jax, Den are eliminated.
If Den is 8-9, it’s a 2-way tie. Jax beat Pittsburgh head to head. Thus, Jax gets wildcard, Pittsburgh is eliminated.
Denver is already eliminated.
Another potential 3-way tie involving Steelers:
Buffalo. 10-7 6-6 conf record
Pittsburgh.10-7 ... 7-5
Indy. 10-7 ... 8-4
OR
HOUS. 10-7 ... 7-5
For #6 seed wildcard, Buffalo has inferior Conf record. Eliminated. HOUS/Indy both beat Pittsburgh head to head. Hous/Indy is #6.
Then for #7, Pittsburgh vs. BUFF. Conf record wins tie for Pittsburgh. Get #7, Buffalo eliminated.
Looks like the Steelers will remain alive this evening at least. They will have to await the results of tomorrow’s games.
Pittsburgh is in if either Jax or Bills lose. Both win and Stealers are out.
Texans win and are IN. First time I have seen Stroud play this season - he’s for real. I’m glad the Ravens played the Texans first week of the season.
Texans could be a very dangerous playoff team.
My heartbeat is just now getting back to normal. Yay! First winning season since 2019. Demeco Ryans, CJ Stroud…and we have a defense…this is encouraging.
I'll be rooting for the Bills tomorrow evening. My S-I-L is a huge fan.
Agreed.... they have come a long way in one season.
If Jax wins, they win the division, lose they are out.
If Buffalo wins, they win the division, lose they need a Jax loss.
If Jax or Buffalo lose, the Steelers are in.
5 teams are facing elimination in the 100pm EST games.
Lose & you’re out:
Jax
TB
Saints
Atl
Vikings
I’m not considering “ties”
Please add me to the ping list
The “ Nothing to play for” teams arevdangorus.
Jax is in trouble.
28-10 Titans.
