So, does this mean if the Steelers lose and get the 4th slot (I don't see that happening, but you never know) they would play the Texans ?
Am I looking at that right, they would play the Texans regardless ? If Steelers win and take #3, the Texans would be #4 and if they lose, they would just swap spots.
From Pro Football Talk, they say the Steelers have the #3 spot wrapped up and will play either the Chiefs or Dolphins.

The Lions will clinch a playoff berth with a win tonight in Dallas. However, win OR lose tonight, the game against the Packers next Sunday night is for the division.
I thought I saw somewhere that the Texans could potentially pass the Steelers for the 3 seed, but far be it from me to argue with PFT. Regardless, I don't see the Steelers losing at home to the Browns, so it's probably a moot point anyway.
You actually did say that. I was just pointing out that a Lions win tonight will clinch them a playoff berth.
Interesting thing about the Lions: they could finish with the #2, 3, 4 or 6 seed OR miss the playoffs entirely
I don't expect the Lions to win tonight, I think it will all come down to the Packers game next week.
Lions will never stop Zeke and the rest of the D offense.

I would have never dreamed the Lions would have a shot at the playoffs in a position other than 5 or 6 ... it just doesn't happen in Detroit ....You actually did say that. I was just pointing out that a Lions win tonight will clinch them a playoff berth.

They need to win their last two games and have Atlanta lose next week to get the 2 seed (and first round bye)
Not even looking at that scenario ... they get into the playoffs once every blue moon, from watching them I don't see them going very far, but it would be nice to see them win at least one game.
Any ideas yet who they might play if they do win the division ?
Woohoo ESPN is reporting that it has finally happened.
The Bills just axed Rex and his silver twin

Loss of MVP candidate Carr was/is devastating to the franchise. BUT, the games must go one and it has to be "next man up". IF the Raiders win in Denver, no easy task even WITH Carr...it would be huge because that 1st round bye would give McGloin practice with the Ones and heal a few dings. Also, McGloin will be a free agent at the end of this season. With multiple teams in search of a good QB, this is HIS time to improve his stock.
...but losing Carr was a kick in the crotch by steel tip boots.

It really does SUCK!! Some of my fellow Patriots fans are "celebrating" because it obviously helps the Pats cause with Carr on the shelf...not me, I've always wanted to beat the best.
More importantly, on a personal level it sucks for this kid. He was having an MVP season and brought a once mighty franchise back to being a contender. Sucks all around.
Yeah, I am not a fan of the Raiders, but I hate seeing players get hurt.
