Q: Ed, Do you know what scenarios need to play out for the Steelers to possibly make the playoffs?

James King, Washington, DC

BOUCHETTE: They remain in contention and it depends on two things: They have to start winning and other AFC teams have to start losing. I've stayed away from looking too seriously at the scenarios because there are so many and because the Steelers have shown little evidence they can win a game, never mind sweep their final three. If they win the next two, then we can talk.
