Pittsburgh –The Week 18 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals will have significant ramifications for both clubs. Despite the Baltimore Ravens’ dominance over Pittsburgh, the team is still vying for a seed. They might have to travel to Baltimore if they lose.
Where: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania’s Acrisure Stadium

In the meantime, the Cincinnati Bengals are trying to make it to the postseason. They are eliminated with a loss, but they still need to lose to the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos on Sunday. To put it another way, that explains why so many wounded Bengals players are playing in this game even if their injuries are becoming worse. However, they will not have their star running back Chase Brown, which might still be a problem. Khalil Herbert will start for the team for the first time.
