Texans clinch a playoff spot.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Week 17 AFC WC/North playoff race

Steelers (8-6-1) @ Bengals
Browns @ Ravens (9-6)
Colts (9-6) @ Titans (9-6)

Texans could still fall out of division crown depending on how things go but as you say now have secured playoff spot at very least

Winner makes playoffs vs Colts/Texans and the drama of Steelers having to take care of Bungles while cheering for Browns to win

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

It's Bengals @ Steelers to be exact.

If Colts-Titans ends up in a tie and Ravens and Steelers win, Steelers get that 2nd WC for those wondering.

I guess the Patriots apparently are never going to play in a WC game

It was on Houston to win out to make that happen. It all came down to that game earlier in the year in Foxboro.

Not overly complex but more games involved that in the NFC leaves a much bigger chart with 1 possible SOV scenario
