The Steelers coughed up a big loss in Week 16 and must win this game, and then get a little help, if they want to sneak into the playoffs.

The good news is that getting the win shouldn’t be difficult. Cincinnati just lost to Cleveland for the second time this season. Pittsburgh is a massive favorite.
Cincinnati Bengals
This game has been moved back to 4:25 to line up with the Cleveland vs. Baltimore game. That’s because Pittsburgh needs to win this game and get a helpful win out of the Browns in order to get into the playoffs.
Marvin Lewis’ sixteenth season as the Head Coach of the Bengals will end the way most of them have: with the Bengals missing the playoffs. Of course, the seven times the Bengals have made the playoffs under Lewis, they have gone home in the first weekend every single time.

Early reports state that the Bengals are going to let Lewis decide when he wants to hang it up. The fanbase’s patience ran out long ago and I have to imagine Lewis is feeling quite a bit of pressure to hang it up and let Cincinnati go in a different direction.
There certainly wasn’t a late-season rally to give the players or fans any reason to want to give Lewis one more chance. Cincy has gone just 1–6 since its bye week, with that only win coming over the embarrassingly-bad Raiders.
Pittsburgh Steelers
So this is it for Pittsburgh. It must be a win and then it needs that help from Cleveland. The Browns are hot and playing to finish over .500, though, so don’t just dismiss the possibility of Pittsburgh weaseling its way in.
Of course, the AFC powers would love to see the Steelers go home before the party even begins. Pittsburgh beat New England and lost a pair of close games to the Chiefs and Chargers by a combined eight points.

James Connor didn’t play against the Saints for a third consecutive DNP. It’s unclear whether he’ll return to play in Week 17 with his high ankle sprain.
Juju Smith-Schuster and Antonio Brown each recorded their 100th reception of the season in Week 16 against the Saints. They’ll join the rare list of teammates to catch 100 balls in the same season. For Brown, it was his sixth consecutive season with triple-digit catches.
Smith-Schuster became the unfortunate goat at the end of the game when his fumble inside the Saints’ forty yard line put the game on ice for New Orleans.
Chris Boswell, who was two-for-two on field goal attempts in the game already, never got a chance to put the third through the uprights and send the game to overtime.
