.... That we make the playoffs.
BUT, it would mean us having to win every game the rest of the season. The good and bad about that is that there are only four games left, and include the Steelers, Lions, Bucs, and Saints.

CAROLINA (5-8)
Remaining games: Pittsburgh, Detroit, at Tampa Bay, at New Orleans.
Record of remaining opponents: 21-31
What it looks like: The Week 7 win over the Bucs looms large. Not only was it the first under interim coach Steve Wilks, it gave the Panthers what could be a crucial leg up in the tiebreaker process. (More on that below.)
The Steelers are struggling to score points, and rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett left yesterday's game with a concussion and backup Mitch Trubisky threw three interceptions. The Lions game on Christmas Eve certainly looks different than it did a month ago as well.
But they've given themselves a chance now, especially since they're 3-0 at home under Wilks.
Never tell me the odds (Tell me the odds): According to the New York Times, the Panthers jumped from a 10 percent chance to a 19 percent chance by beating the Seahawks. There's still a lot of work to do, and obviously, the Week 17 trip to Tampa could be a de facto play-in game. But they have to take care of business between now and then or hope for even more chaos to make it matter.
