Looks like the steelers still have a shot at the playoffs, and it isn't a long one.
Ways for the Steelers to be eliminated in Week 16:
-- lose to the Ravens.
-- JAX beats NE, BUF beats TEN, and CIN beats DEN. If this happens, the Steelers won't be able to catch the Bengals or the Jaguars (since the Titans won't be able to tie them).
-- OAK beats KC, JAX beats NE, BUF beats TEN, and DEN beats CIN. If this happens, the Steelers won't be able to catch the Broncos (since the Chiefs won't be able to tie them) or the Jaguars (since the Titans won't be able to tie them).
-- OAK beats KC, JAX beats NE, NYJ beats MIA, and the Titans clinch the strength of victory tiebreaker over the Steelers. If this happens, the Steelers won't be able to catch the Broncos (since the Chiefs won't be able to tie them), and either the Jaguars or the Titans (who would win a 3-way tie between PIT, TEN, NYJ based on strength of victory) will keep them out of the other playoff spot.

Basically, cheer for Pitts,, and NE
