Steelers vs Bengals live match

The Pittsburgh Steelers face more of a “must not lose” game than a “must-win” on Sunday when they face the winless Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC North showdown.

How to Watch:

When: Sunday, Nov. 24

Time: 1:00 p.m. ET

TV: CBS

The Steelers (5-5) are still in the hunt for the second wild-card spot, but have been stewing since a 21-7 loss at Cleveland on Nov. 14. That game, though, will be remembered more for all the wrong reasons as Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph was hit on the head with his own helmet by Browns defensive end Myles Garrett in the final seconds.

That moment was the flashpoint of a game gone horribly wrong for Rudolph, who was intercepted four times and sacked four times—with two of those takedowns coming on the two plays before both the Steelers quarterback and Browns defensive end lost their cool.

Steelers All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey, who came to Rudolph’s defense and attacked Garrett by throwing punches and kicking him while on the ground, was suspended three games for his role.

Rudolph is expected to be fined for his actions in the dust-up, which included trying to rip Garrett’s helmet off first after the Browns defensive end dragged him to the ground well after Rudolph had thrown a shovel pass.

Pouncey’s absence puts B.J. Finney in the spotlight as his replacement. A fifth-year pro, Finney has made 10 starts in 53 career games with the Steelers, most recently at left guard in their Week 9 victory over Indianapolis.
