PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers welcome the Cincinnati Bengals for a Week 18 game with many implications for both teams. Pittsburgh is playing for seeding, even as the Baltimore Ravens rumble against the Baltimore Ravens. If they lose, a trip to Baltimore could be in their future.

The Cincinnati Bengals are fighting for their playoff lives without one of their stars. Heading into their Week 18 clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers, both WR Tee Higgins and RB Chase Brown were listed as questionable. Higgins was deemed to be ready to play despite the injury designation, but Brown was more of a question mark.

Pittsburgh’s defense has softened some lately but still allows only 20 points per game and features a top-eight run-stopping unit. Luckily for Cincinnati, the Steelers’ air defense isn’t quite as dominant.
