Pittsburgh to play Cincinnati in 1st round of playoffs
As a result of their win and the Buffalo Bills’ 22-17 victory over the New York Jets, the Steelers (10-6) advance to the playoffs.
Pittsburgh will travel to Cincinnati to play its AFC North division rival Bengals next weekend at a time to be determined. The teams split two hotly-contested matchups this season. The Bengals haven’t won a playoff game since Jan. 6, 1991, and were denied a first-round bye when Denver defeated San Diego on Sunday night.
“We have an excited locker room in there and rightfully so,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said.
