Mexico City.- Another day of play, another day of kill or be killed for the Steelers.
Once again, Pittsburgh is risking its life today in the current NFL season, and it will do so, unfortunately for itself, with one eye on its duel against Seattle and the other on what happens on other 5 fronts.
To continue in the fight to reach the Playoffs, those led by Mike Tomlin will not be enough to beat the Seahawks on the road, but they need the Colts, Bills, Chargers, Jaguars and Texans not to win their respective games. Of course, Pittsburgh’s victory gives it life, but not a ticket to the Playoffs.
The problem for the Steelers is that the betting houses are not in their favor, since Indianapolis, Buffalo, Jacksonville and Houston are favorites to win today.
The Colts face the weak Las Vegas Raiders, the Bills have everything to beat the Patriots, the Jaguars to defeat Carolina and the Texans to beat Tennessee.
In fact, the Chargers start as victims today, in their game against the Denver Broncos, just as Pittsburgh is the underdog against Seattle.
At this moment the American Conference has 3 franchises with a safe place in the Postseason: Ravens, Dolphins and Browns, while the Chiefs need to beat Cincinnati today to get their ticket.
In the NFC, 49ers, Eagles, Lions and Cowboys are already in the Playoffs, with the Buccaneers one victory away from qualifying.
With only 8 teams mathematically eliminated (Patriots, Chargers, Titans, Jets, Panthers, Cardinals, Commanders and Giants) and 7 qualified teams, there are still 17 franchises fighting for a place in the Playoffs in Weeks 17 and 18.

HOLDER THE SUBSTITUTE
Russell Wilson knows he will no longer be a starter, but he has every intention of staying in Denver to fulfill the remainder of his contract.
The veteran quarterback and the Broncos seemed to have a lasting love affair. In 2022, Wilson arrived in Colorado with a contract that bound him through the end of the 2023 season, but almost immediately signed a 5-year, $242.6 million extension.
What the Broncos didn’t see coming was that they were going to look for a way to get out of that deal before it started.
Wilson has $39 million guaranteed, but Denver is looking for a way to save the rest of the big deal.
“I want to stay, but I don’t know what’s going to happen. I came to Denver for one reason: to win championships. And that’s still my goal, that’s what I’m focused on right now. I’m under contract and I’ll do whatever it takes to deliver.” my goals. That’s why I will train as I should and prepare as I should,” said Russell, who will be on the bench today against the Los Angeles Chargers.
His place will be taken by Jarrett Stidham, whose contract today guarantees him one tenth (4 million dollars) of what Wilson’s contract stipulates for 2023.
The incredible thing is that, despite the irregularity, the Broncos (7-8) have a chance of advancing to the Playoffs.
