Steelers Seek Redemption against Playoff-Bound Bengals

Pittsburgh Aims to End Losing streak in Prime-time Rematch

PITTSBURGH – While the Cincinnati Bengals will be battling for a playoff spot in Saturday night’s regular-season finale at Pittsburgh, the Steelers enter the prime-time rematch with just as much motivation to secure a victory.

Despite having their playoff berth locked up, the Steelers are eager to snap a three-game losing streak.

“Certainly, they’re a motivated group trying to play their way into this tournament, but certainly we’re a motivated group to be quite honest with you,” coach Mike Tomlin said Monday.

“We got to get the stench of the last few performances off of us, and there’s no better way to do that than a home divisional win versus a formidable group going into the tournament, and so that’s our mentality as we stand here today.”

The Steelers’ motivation, however, might be tempered by the outcome of the earlier game on Saturday. The Baltimore Ravens could secure the AFC North crown and the home playoff game that comes with it by beating the Cleveland Browns in the first game of the doubleheader (4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ABC).

If that happens, the Steelers will be guaranteed to go on the road for the wild-card round, possibly diminishing the stakes of their matchup against the Bengals.

Irrespective of the Ravens’ result, the steelers will be facing a bengals team hungry for a win. Cincinnati needs a victory to secure a playoff berth and improve their seeding.

The Bengals,led by quarterback Joe Burrow,have been a force in the AFC this season. Their high-powered offence presents a significant challenge for the Steelers’ defence.

Steelers Seek Momentum Shift as Playoff Berth Looms

Pittsburgh, PA – The Pittsburgh Steelers enter Week 17 with a playoff berth secured, but a three-game losing streak has cast a shadow over their recent success.Facing the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the Steelers are focused on regaining momentum and building confidence heading into the postseason.

“We know that we have to just win this game to get some momentum going into the playoffs,” said pass rusher Alex Highsmith. “Ultimately that’s all we can do at this point. We just got to control what we control and that’s winning games.”

The Steelers’ recent struggles have been evident on both sides of the ball. The defense, which has been a hallmark of the franchise, has given up an average of 30 points and 402 yards per game during the losing streak.

“It’s the same thing we’ve been preaching,” inside linebacker Patrick Queen said about the defensive woes. “Guys just got to do their job. You got to want to do it, and it’s just that simple. I think especially with this stretch, if we want to be great, that’s what it’s going to take.”

Following their Christmas Day loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Steelers held a series of frank meetings aimed at identifying and correcting the issues plaguing the team.

“They bickered because they care, and we weren’t playing well,” head coach Mike Tomlin said. “Oftentimes the solutions are born out of conflict and confrontation, notably when you’re in the business that we’re in, and so we’re not going to let an issue like that be a big issue. It’s really not. Guys are expressing truth and working to seek solutions, and sometimes emotions are involved in that.”

While the outcome of Sunday’s game against the Browns may not drastically affect the Steelers’ playoff seeding, a win would provide a much-needed confidence boost as they prepare for the postseason.

“We can’t get engulfed by [losing],” Highsmith said. “we just got to rally around each other in this locker room and know the guys that we have in this locker room and know the talent that we have.”
