As the first round of the playoffs heats up, the Pittsburgh Steelers could potentially host a second playoff game at home, depending on the outcome of several AFC Wild Card games.
If the third-seeded Steelers defeat the fifth-seeded Houston Texans, the sixth-seeded Buffalo Bills defeat the third-seeded Jacksonville Jaguars, and the seventh-seeded Los Angeles Chargers defeat the second-seeded New England Patriots, the Steelers will host the Pittsburgh Bills in the divisional round of the playoffs.

If Buffalo loses but Los Angeles wins, the Broncos will host the Chargers and the Steelers will travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars.
If the Chargers lose but the Bills win, Buffalo will travel to Denver to face the Broncos, while the Steelers will travel to New England.
If the Chargers and Bills lose, the Steelers will face the Broncos in Denver.
However, speculation about Pittsburgh’s playoff prospects will be moot if the Steelers can’t beat the Texans on Monday, which may be easier said than done given the playoff woes that plague the Steel City’s brand of football.
