When the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night, they will be playing for playoff seeding and nothing more. Any hope of the Steelers winning the AFC North went out the window when the Baltimore Ravens blew out the Cleveland Browns 35-10 in the afternoon game.
With the loss by the Browns, the Steelers now have two scenarios in play. If they can beat Cincinnati, they will travel to Houston next week to take on the Texans. But if the Steelers lose, they would have to go to Baltimore for their third game against the Ravens this season.
The Steelers put themselves into this position by losing their last three games. Inactives for the Steelers came out and despite no hope of a division title, the Steelers are playing everyone, perhaps in hopes of avoiding the Ravens for now.
