They figured the Steelers already owned them this year, and now the lowly Browns, so why embarrass the city of Cincinnati even more?

Actually the game was dropped due to Steelers poor season record. It was no longer a match-up of 2 play-off teams from last year.  Bengals at 5-4 record was good enough, but not Steelers floating in the toilet record. 

However you are indeed correct that Bengals have two rival game losses to correct.  First they must avoid being swept by Steelers.  Then 3 weeks later they must avoid being swept by Browns.   If Bengals get swept by such awful teams as these, then Bengals are not worthy of play-offs anyway.  

I am glad it is an afternoon game now for personal reasons.  I like watching NFL on Sunday afternoon, not late in evening. 

Also it is Pittsburgh Fans who have to adjust, because it is their Home Game that was moved out of Sunday Night Football to about 4 hours earlier at 4 PM.   The Steelers of only about 2 wins are the ones NBC does not want in Prime Time.   Plus the quarterbacks for the Chiefs and Chargers make for a better game anyway, and NBC and NFL noticed the mistake in not having it as the National Prime Time Game.
