The Pittsburgh Steelers will finish their 2024 regular season with another prime-time home game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday.

The NFL released the schedule for Week 18 on Sunday, and the Steelers and Bengals will kick off at 8 p.m. on Saturday.

Neither team will be playing on short rest for the Saturday game. The Steelers have been off since losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day last Wednesday. The Bengals played the Denver Broncos at home this past Saturday.

The Steelers will have the advantage of knowing if they’re still playing for the AFC North title, as the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns will play earlier in the day in Baltimore. If the Ravens win, the only thing at stake for the Steelers would be the difference between the No. 5 seed and the No. 6 seed. If the Ravens lose, the Steelers will be able to clinch the AFC North with a victory.
