(Although for all practical purposes they are.) They can't catch Cincinnati by themselves, for reasons already stated, but if they win out, Cincinnatil loses out, and Pittsburgh plays their way into a three way tie, then in the three way tiebreak they would be 3-1 in the three team head-to-head, while Pittsburgh would be 2-2, as would the Bengals. Looking at catching Cincinnati in a two way tie they would be eliminated, but the prospect of a three way tie says they have one more week to suffer with a tiny shred of mathematical hope.
Good catch - I hadn't considered a 3 way tie but was basing it entirely on the one-to-one match-up.
