NFL playoff schedule 2016: Steelers vs. Bengals on Wild Card weekend for right to face Broncos

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals will square off in the AFC Wild Card round of the AFC Playoffs, and this game will be the rubber match between these AFC North rivals. The two teams split the regular season series, both winning on the road, and what better way to settle the score than in the playoffs?

The Steelers and Bengals both have some playoff demons to exorcise. Pittsburgh hasn't won a playoff game since their 2010 trip to Super Bowl 45, and the Bengals not only are 0-6 under Marvin Lewis in the playoffs, they haven't won a playoff game since Boomer Esiason was the quarterback of the team.

If the Steelers can beat the Bengals this Saturday night, they will advance to play the Denver Broncos in Mile High in the Divisional round of the postseason.
