The (8-6) Bengals travel to take on the (7-7) Steelers. The Steelers defeated the Bengals just less than a month ago at Cincy and the Bengals will try to return the favor and stay in the hunt for a playoff spot. Go Bengals! WHO DEY!! The game will be on NBC at 4:30pm.

Huge game. If the Bengals win this one, it keeps the Steelers from having any chance at finishing in a tie with the Bengals if the Bengals get to the magic win total of 10. 

Bengals are already beat up Reader out for the season.

The Steelers are more beat up.  4th string ILBs.  Minkah likely out.  Kazee likely suspended.  Let's try to create another narrative.  This Steeler team needs a purge.  I'll never root against my guys, but wouldn't be sad to see them donate all 3 remaining.

The info below is from All Bengals on FanNation:

Mason Rudolph will start at quarterback for the Steelers on Saturday against the Bengals. Mike Tomlin made the announcement on Monday afternoon. 

Rudolph replaces veteran Mitch Trubisky, who struggled in his two starts. 

Starter Kenny Pickett suffered an ankle injury against the Cardinals in Week 13. He underwent surgery and could return next week against the Seahawks.  

I thought this was a good one. lol

I don't know why you tempt fate.  it's an AFCN battle.  You've already lost to them once.  Once more and your ship is also sunk.  It'd be a terrific badge to donate one to them again.

I didn't realize this is another Saturday game, cool!

I expect a good game but no matter what happens I don't think either team is doing anything in the playoffs.

Honestly, now with 2 starting safeties out, if you don't bludgeon this squad downfield, you should be looking for a different OC.  Bengals should cruise to victory.

Now that the Bengals have their footing with Browning at QB I agree we should win by a couple of TDs but I am no where near that confident.  I do know what I don't want to hear this weekend, I don't want to hear this again, lol, but I love the song!

 

DJ Reader and DJ Ivey both were placed on injured reserve today. OT Jackson Carman and LB Joe Bachie were both listed out on today's injury report. Chase was not listed today but was yesterday as questionable as Coach Taylor said he was day-to-day with a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder.

Just saw Chase is definitely out for Saturday and maybe more…. Big blow, hope Tee is ready to be the “alpha”!

Not so fast. Taylor said today they aren't ready to officially rule him out.
