This evening, the football world gets treated to a late-season divisional matchup between a two-loss team fighting for a playoff bye and a two-win team with a backup quarterback that can only hurt its chances for a top-five draft pick with a win. Yes, tonight’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals is a rivalry game with plenty of bad blood between the two teams, but it seems unlikely to feature too much animosity with one team in the doldrums.
Cincinnati looks to have made an excellent call by making Joe Burrow the first overall pick in this spring’s NFL Draft.
