Bengals keep playoff hopes alive with win, await fate Sunday

PITTSBURGH -- Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor popped into the visiting locker room at Acrisure Stadium and quickly made his way over to quarterback Joe Burrow following Saturday night's 19-17 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

They shared a quick embrace, exchanged a few words and continued celebrating what could be a very important victory. For at least one more night, Cincinnati's season is still alive.

The Bengals did their part to stay in playoff contention entering Sunday's slate of games. To secure the seventh and final seed in the AFC, they need losses from the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins.
