This is the Playoffs

Our playoffs started in 2012 against the Steelers, but we saw how that turned out.
Our playoffs started in 2013 against the Ravens for the division, but we saw how that turned out.
Our playoffs started in 2014 against the Broncos for a playoff spot, but we saw how that turned out.

These are not playoff games. These are regular season games that are tough. There is a different feel to this team, but just because it's a critical game does not make it a playoff game. There's still plenty more football to go before the playoffs happen.

I think you are missing the point.  This will be a desperate, tough opponent in a situation that can help put an end to their season.  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.
