But with Pittsburgh still playing for the division title and potentially playing for the 3 seed, they're going to go all out for their final home game.
Getting a road victory in primetime against a Steelers team in their situation that has traditionally been known for putting out all the tricks (to put it nicely) to get any advantage possible is going to be an incredibly challenging task on its own.
They should be more difficult to beat than the Broncos, who the Bengals arguably lucked out beating in OT last week.
At the end of the day, KC really controls this whole thing if they wanted to.
If they see Cincy win on Saturday, there's nothing stopping them from trying a lot less on Sunday to give the Broncos a win.
I know if I were KC, I'd much rather potentially go against this declining Broncos team (on a 2-game losing skid) than a surging Bengals team (potential 5-game win streak) if either team can get past BUF on WC weekend.
If they were smart they would want bengals to get in as we have a better chance beating the bills. They fear bills more than bengals. They just don’t like us bc of the whole “burrow head” thing.
