Despite back-to-back losses, the Jets remain in good position for a playoff berth in the AFC. But another loss could bring some other wild card contenders into play. Very important game for the Jets to stop their slide.
As stated on the playoff picture thread, the Steelers don't have to beat the Jets to clinch the AFC North or to secure a first round bye. They can accomplish both by defeating Carolina and Cleveland in their final two regular season games. Still, it's a key battle between playoff caliber teams in the AFC.
