The NFL announced the Bengals' Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers will take place on Saturday, Jan. 4 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC/ESPN.
Both teams have playoff implications on the line in Week 18. The Bengals need to win and have the Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins lose to make it to the postseason, while the Steelers are still jostling for position. If Pittsburgh wins and the Baltimore Ravens lose, the Steelers will win the AFC North and be the three seed in the AFC Playoffs. A loss could have the Steelers as low as the seven seed in the playoffs depending on the outcome of other games.
The Bengals go into the Steel City riding a four-game win streak.
Cornerback Mike Hilton spent the first four seasons of his career in Pittsburgh.
"It's going to be another do or die," Hilton said after the Bengals defeated the Broncos Saturday. "We've got to go out there and win a game against a good opponent."
