NFL Week 18 started a day early for the Pittsburgh Steelers as they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17 on Saturday. This prevented the Steelers from any opportunity to win the AFC North. So now the Steelers and all of Steeler Nation are watching Sunday’s game in anticipation of where the Steelers stand in the tournament standings and who they will face.
Here are the games to watch this weekend.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Las Vegas Raiders.
The Chargers are fighting for a playoff spot and this game against the Raiders is a must-win. But if the Raiders pull off the upset, it would put the Steelers on the road next week against the Houston Texans. If the Chargers win, that means the Steelers would travel to Baltimore and face the Ravens for the third time this season.
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
This game is less about winners and losers and more about looking out for the Texans in case the Steelers play them next week. Everyone knows the Ravens, but Houston is a different team without wide receiver Tank Dell and we’ll be keeping a close eye on this one.
