It's been a long ride, but the 2024 regular season comes to an end for the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday night in Pittsburgh. It remains to be seen whether or not the Bengals will qualify for postseason play, but they need a win over the Steelers if they want a shot. Pittsburgh has already clinched a playoff spot, but still has positioning to play for.
The league scheduled the game between the two long-time rivals for primetime on Saturday night, which is fitting for a game of this magnitude. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, the Steelers aren't expected to rest their starters, despite the fact that the Baltimore Ravens could win the division in the game prior.
We hope this isn't the case, but there's a chance that this could be Cincinnati's last game of the season, so it will be one that Bengals fans absolutely won't want to miss. Below you'll find all of the pertinent viewing information for the Week 18 matchup between Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
