Donny Football

So, Donnie, if the Steelers lose and Ravens win, it's coming down to the final game when Baltimore comes here.

If the Steelers win and the Ravens lose this weekend...

Then the Steelers could have the division clinched before they take the field in Cleveland if the Ravens lose again on Saturday night against Green Bay.

But even if the Ravens win in Green Bay, the Steelers could clinch in Cleveland.

I think I have that right.

They could very easily lose.

Sure.

But here's the Ravens, and I thought the Athletic put it well.

And I'll read you a simple sentence.

A useful shorthand for the Ravens in terms of their playoff scenarios is that they're in good shape if they win two of their next three as long as one is in Pittsburgh.

The Ravens need two wins and obviously need to win here.

So they can lose one of these next two, but they can't probably, depending on what the Steelers do, can't lose two of two.

For the Steelers, that is correct.

The Steelers could lose the next two games, and the Ravens could win their next two.

As long as they would beat the Ravens in Week 18.

For the Steelers, it's very simple in terms of that.

Now, here's the thing, Donnie, without getting into any...

That was funny because you just look like I've looked staying up all night with a relatively simple scenario.

I just didn't want to get it wrong.

And then the more you dive into the simple scenario, the more it becomes confused in our heads.
