The Steelers are in the playoffs.
Pittsburgh needed two things to happen in order to qualify for the NFL postseason field.
The first was a win at Baltimore, where the Steelers won, 17-10, in the rain on Saturday night, which gave the Steelers a 10-7 record.
The second was either a Tennesssee win over Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon or Miami beating Buffalo on Sunday night.
Tennessee helped the Steelers by defeating the Jags, 28-20, in Nashville.
Pittsburgh thus clinches a wild-card and will play next weekend.
The entire NFL playoff field will be announced later Sunday night.
