A pair of divisional rivalry games arrives on the second-to-last day of the regular season.
The AFC North is one of the more solid divisions in the NFL this season. It doesn’t hold a candle to the NFC North — where three teams have at least 11 wins and two have 14 — but there are still two playoff teams with a slim chance for a third coming out of that group of four.
Today, the NFL’s two week 18 Saturday games feature that AFC North division, with one team needing a win to stay alive for the final undecided playoff spot. That team is the Cincinnati Bengals, who need a win today over the Pittsburgh Steelers and losses by the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos tomorrow in order to claim the final postseason berth.
If they get the win, Cincinnati will pull off an impressive return to a winning season after starting the year off 1-4.
Tune in for that game tonight as well as Browns-Ravens in the earlier afternoon slot as we get ready for a big day of football on Sunday.
