With the Dolphins and Ravens now eliminated, either the Steelers or Chargers will be the 6th seed in the AFC.
More than likely Chargers will be the 6th seed since the Chiefs are resting their starters, but if I were the other playoff teams I would not want to see the Chargers or the Steelers as the 6th seed.
Either team could catch lightning in a bottle. Though the Bengals have been tough at home this season, they have yet to show up in the playoffs.
The 6th seed is a better caliber team now, the Dolphins or the Ravens would have been an easier opponent for the Bengals.
Cincinnati might not like this outcome after next week.
