The Steelers came into Sunday needing to win both of their remaining games in order to clinch a playoff spot, but they no longer control their own chances of making it to the postseason .

Pittsburgh did score any points in the second half while playing with a pair of quarterbacks and the Jets were able to hit a pair of field goals that game them a – win at home. The victory means that they will be out of the playoffs if the Titans win in Week 25 whether or not the Steelers are able to beat the Ravens .
