The Pittsburgh Steelers showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 18 could have huge playoff implications for the Steelers and Bengals. The NFL waited until after the Sunday Night Football game between the Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons to announce the kickoff time for the games but now we know.
The Steelers and Bengals will kick off at 8:00 ET on Saturday, January 4. The game will be in Pittsburgh and the 10-6 Steelers are hoping they can get a win over the Bengals paired with a Browns upset of the Baltimore Ravens to help Pittsburgh secure an AFC North title and a home playoff game.
Pittsburgh and Cincinnati squared off in Week 13 with Pittsburgh winning a shootout 44-38. The Bengals offense is still humming along with quarterback Joe Burrow a legitimate MVP candidate. Meanwhile, the Steelers offense has ground to a screeching halt accounting for Pittsburgh’s three-game losing streak.
