Steelers are tied with the Jets. If the Steelers win out, the worst they can be is still tied with the Jets. The Steelers winning out gives them a better record vs common opponents than the Jets.

If the Jets, KC and Steelers win out, it's a 3 way tie and the Steelers have a better conference record than the Jets. The Jets are only in 6th place now based on Win% vs the conference and common opponents being better as of week 13. Those will both turn in the Steelers favor if they win out, regardless of what the Jets do.

Steelers would need KC to lose one more than them to jump them for the 5th seed though.
