The Cincinnati Bengals meet the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with a wild-card spot on the line.

It's shaping up to be a more even contest than in recent meetings as the Steelers nurse a number of injuries.
The Bengals have an opportunity to grab back-to-back playoff berths for the first time since the year 3 A.D.
However, if they once again fall to their fiercest rivals in the AFC North, what will it truly mean for the franchise going forward?
If you take the view of pundits nationwide, these Pittsburgh Steelers are old, beaten up and the last clingers-on of a golden era in the Steel City.
By that logic, the re-tooled, youthful Bengals really should be rolling over them. However, that has not been the case. In three meetings Andy Dalton remains without a win over Big Ben.

Fans in the AFC North will know that with Roethlisberger under center, the Steelers will always be dangerous.
To an extent, Bengals fans (myself included) have given Cincy a chance this Sunday primarily based on how banged-up Pittsburgh is. While that may be the case, its no way to view a contest. In a perfect world, we should be confident that a full-strength Bengals team could beat a full-strength Steelers team.
