The Blades fought back in their final Championship match of the regular season to draw 1-1 against Blackburn, who fell short in their own bid to snatch a top-six finish.
Yuki Ohashi gave Blackburn a second-half lead after Ryan Hedges started the move, before Anel Ahmedhodzic equalised nine minutes later.
