Cincinnati Bengals vs Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday Night Football Preview, TV & Live Stream Schedule

By Ed Molina| Dec 15, 2013

With a win on Sunday Night Football over their rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-8), the Cincinnati Bengals (9-4) have the opportunity to clinch a third straight postseason berth, coupled with a loss or a tie by either the Baltimore Ravens or Miami Dolphins.

The Bengals currently hold a two-game division lead over the defending Super Bowl champions in the AFC North and could make franchise history, marking the first time Cincinnati has gone to playoffs three straight years in a row.

"We've just got to take care of our business and we'll be all right," said Bengals cornerback Adam Jones. "If we just win out we'll be OK. That's all we've got to do: win out and let everything else take care of itself."

The Bengals are on a three-game winning streak, having dismantled the Indianapolis Colts 42-28, with QB Andy Dalton going 24-of-35 for 275 yards, including three passing TD's and a rushing touchdown. RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis rushed for 48 yards and two touchdowns in their Week 14 win over the Colts.

"We're on a roll," said Bengals LB Rey Maualuga. "At the beginning of the year, we had three goals. We wanted to be undefeated at home, win the AFC North and eventually be world champions."

The Steelers are holding on to slim playoff hopes, three games behind the Miami Dolphins for the last wildcard spot, riding a two-game losing streak, having almost pulled off a miracle victory Miami last week, after WR Antonio Brown barely stepped out of bounds on his way to the end zone on a final play that featured five laterals, losing to the Dolphins 34-28. Pittsburgh QB Ben Roethlisberger went 23-of-39, tossing three touchdowns, but fell short of the come-from-behind victory.

"Not enough playmaking by us," said Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, who had his own sideline incident on Thanksgiving night in Baltimore that cost him a heacy fine. "Obviously enough playmaking by them."
