This is the Bengals biggest game of the season, and not just because it is the next one. It is an opportunity to sweep their hated division rivals. Do it convincingly, and your confidence heading in to the playoffs will soar. So many talking heads have been saying "No one wants the steelers in the playoffs". It is time to answer that with a big win.
But that's exactly how it was in 2012. Had a chance to knock the Steelers out of the playoffs in their own home. And they did just that. But went on to lose in the playoffs.
It's still the regular season and an important game. Is it more important than most other wins? Yes. But it's not a make-or-break game for the Bengals.
