The STRANGEST PLAYOFF SCENARIO in NFL HISTORY | 1982 Steelers

After the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New England Patriots during week 8 (week 16) of the strike-shortened 1982 NFL season, the Steelers players and fans celebrated, as they thought they had clinched a playoff spot thanks to reporters, and thanks to league and team press releases. There was just one small problem. That was a complete lie, and the Steelers hadn't actually clinched a spot yet, as there was still a scenario where they could've missed. This is the story of how this oversight happened, as well as what has to be the strangest playoff situation in the history of the NFL
