Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers injury report and starting lineup - NFL Week 12 

The Pittsburgh Steelers will travel to Ohio to face the Cincinnati Bengals in a key divisional matchup in Week 12. Both teams are in the hunt for the AFC North title and a defeat would be a massive blow to their aspirations.

The Steelers are 5-4-1 and are winless in their past two matches. They were especially poor against the winless Detroit Lions in Week 9 and lost a shootout against the Los Angeles Chargers last week. They are third in the divisional standings and cannot afford more slip-ups to secure a playoff berth.

The Bengals suffered a humiliating loss in Week 8 against the New York Jets but bounced back with two straight wins to improve to 6-4. The offense, led by quarterback Joe Burrow, has been impressive all year long. They only trail the 7-3 Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North standings and would want a win on Sunday to keep the pressure on their divisional rivals.
