It would take a substantial collapse by the Bengals combined with an incredible run by the Steelers for them to win the AFCN crown.
As far as the wild card goes, they will likely need a minimum of 10 wins. That's a 5-2 run for a team that's currently 5-4. It's not out of the realm of possibility, but they will be without their 2 best OL and Bell with a hobbled QB. Yes, they have won some games with their backup QB, but they have also lost to crap teams like the Chiefs and Ravens. They have been a terrible west coast team and Seattle is probably the toughest place to play in the league. Indy is mediocre, but should have proven last week that they can be dangerous if overlooked. They can make it, but they have a tough mountain to climb to get there.
Roth isnt hobbled. He has a minor foot problem and a bye week coming up. He'll be back.

regardless of this being a Pittsburgh paper,its still a fact of history.
the Patriots are undefeated with basically no offensive line of worth too
