We’ve reached Week 18 and that means two more NFL football games on a Saturday. Today’s double header featuring all four AFC North teams battling it out. The Cincinnati Bengals are visiting the Pittsburgh Steelers, and they’re trying to stay alive in the AFC playoff race. They need a win today and a Broncos loss tomorrow. The Steelers had hoped to win the division, but Baltimore’s win earlier locked that race up. Now they’re fighting to keep the 5th seed.
