Despite a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the Steelers have clinched a playoff berth.

The Black and Gold secured a playoff appearance as a result of the Dolphins losing to the Texans and the Colts losing to the Broncos.

The Steelers remain the leaders in the AFC North, even with the 27-13 loss. The Steelers can clinch the division if they beat the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16.
