NFL Week 15 Steelers vs Bengals: Game time, TV schedule, online stream, odds, weather, radio

One of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries is renewed this week when the Cincinnati Bengals face the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Both teams enter this game mathematically alive for the AFC North division championship, though those odds are much slimmer for the Bengals as they host the division-leading Steelers at Paul Brown Stadium.

At 5-7-1, the Bengals trail the 8-5 Steelers by 2.5 half games. Cincinnati must win their last three games and hope Pittsburgh loses its last three to finish ahead of the Steelers for the division crown. That would require Pittsburgh losing to Cleveland in its finale, as well as to the Bengals and Ravens in the next two weeks.

The Bengals also trail the 7-6 Baltimore Ravens, who need to lose two of their next three with the only win being against the Steelers next week. The Ravens finish the season at Cincinnati.

That scenario is very unlikely, but a small chance is all the some players need in the NFL to keep them going. It certainly helps that this is one of the NFL’s best rivalries. Whether both or neither team is in the playoff hunt, this is assured of being a fierce battle.
