The Cincinnati Bengals aim to return to the NFL postseason and can potentially clinch a trip today by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in their week 15 SNF game. Cincinnati can win their fourth straight football game when we watch Bengals vs Steelers online free live streaming NFL Sunday Night Football on NBC by following the links presented below.
The Bengals (9-4) have been to the postseason and not gotten very far the past two seasons. They are a win and a loss or tie by the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football away from winning the AFC North and securing a playoff spot. Never in the team’s 46-year history have they made the postseason three years in a row, and it’s so close to happening that everyone on the team can taste it.
Cincinnati has beaten some solid teams over their current three-game winning streak including taking down the Indianapolis Colts and Cleveland Browns by a combined score of 83-48. In a more tightly fought battle, they beat the San Diego Chargers 17-10, the same team that just waltzed into Denver and took down Peyton Manning and the Broncos.
A big reason for the Bengals success has been the running back dynamic duo of BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard. Individually these guys don’t appear on any of the league leader lists. However combined they have rushed for 1,282 yards this season and 10 total touchdowns, causing issues for every defense they have gone up against. Watch Steelers vs Bengals live online streaming free on NBC to see how many yards these two can rack up against the Steelers defense.
Pittsburgh (5-8) has fallen out of the playoff picture in the AFC after losing to Miami and Baltimore in the last two weeks. The common theme of this season for the Steelers has been their offensive line’s inability to protect big Ben Roethlisberger as several starters are out with injury. As a result, Ben has been sacked 39 times this season, third worst in the NFL, and the Bengals got to him twice in their previous meeting.
Last week’s loss to the Dolphins was especially tough for the Steelers to swallow as wide receiver Antonio Brown narrowly missed scoring the go-ahead touchdown as time wound down when he stepped out of bounds. Instead the Steelers lost 34-28 and watched their playoff hopes wash away in the bitter cold air that is grasping most of the country.
