The Pittsburgh Steelers have to sit around and wait. They don't play until Monday Night Football in Week 15, when they take on the Miami Dolphins.
That means that all of Sunday's action is just a matter of dissecting the NFL playoff picture and seeing what might happen in the AFC North standings.
There are wild card implications on Sunday, too, but the Steelers will likely have their eyes focused the most in one spot in particular.

What Steelers need to happen in Week 15
The Steelers enter Sunday at 7-6, one game ahead of the Baltimore Ravens (6-7) in the AFC North.
That means the most important outcome on the table involves Baltimore.
The Steelers will be rooting for the Bengals to beat the Ravens.

Cincinnati would still be a game further behind even with a win, so the Bengals aren't a threat to catch the Steelers.
Pittsburgh maintains its division lead no matter what if the Bengals win, and if the Steelers then won on Monday night, it'd expand the edge.
Helpful results in the wild card race, if it comes to that, would include: Patriots beating Bills, Seahawks beating Colts and the Cardinals beating the Texans.
