Still would need another win, I think.  If your scenario happens and we lose out while Pittsburgh wins out, both teams are 10-6 and 4-2 in the division.  According to the ESPN Playoff Machine, the Steelers win it on tie breakers (presumably common games record, as a Colts victory would give them 5 AFC losses).

Who would have thought that possible on week 13. Amazing.

Bengals would still have a better record against AFC with 8-4 while Pitt would be 7-5 at best which is tie breaker after division record.

It's not really that big of a mind screw, when you consider we'd have lose out. I mean we could lose a couple more, but lose out - I think we'd have to throw games.

Lets break it down. If the Bengals beat the Browns and then lose out and the Steelers lose to the Colts and then win out.

We'll break it down piece by piece.

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs). 1-1
1. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 4-2 and 4-2
1. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. Steelers: 9-3 Bengals: 8-4
1. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. Steelers: 7-5 Bengals: 8-4

We lose on common games and win in conference record . Steelers would win division.

Ok technically I guess not but lets be real. No way we lose to a pitiful SF and a Ravens team that's a shell of its former self.

That scenario is not possible.

Both teams cannot lose out after next week as they play head to head the following week.

EDIT:  I just re-read this and I guess you meant the Steelers win out?
