This all AFC North division match up sees first vs second and has big Playoff implications. If the Steelers have any thoughts remaining about catching the Bengals they will need to win this one today, and even that may not be enough.

The Bengals come into today's game on 10-2 and the Steelers are back on 7-5, so even a win today for the Steelers will leave them with a lot to do and would require other results to go their way through the final month of the regular season.

Oppositely if the Bengals can win today, then it would put to bed any lingering hopes the Steelers have of catching them, and would confirm Cincinnati as division title winners.

There is a lot of bad blood built up between these two rivals, and that will add to the passion and tension in today's game. Both teams have on fire offensive units right now, and that should mean we are in for an exciting game of football today.

Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis has said, "If you're going to be AFC North champs, it's probably fitting that you have to beat them to do that."

Earlier in Week 14 in the NFL regular season, the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals faced off on Thursday Night Football in a game full of drama and late twists.

The Cardinals came into the game as favorites, but the Vikings refused to give in and wouldn't fall away despite Arizona's best efforts.

A late rally in the final quarter saw Minnesota almost come back to take the game into overtime, and with just seconds to go they had moved into a perfect field goal position, which would have leveled the scores.

However, Dwight Freeney stripped the ball from Teddy Bridgewater with five seconds to play in a hugely disappointing ending for the Vikings. The turnover deprived Minnesota the opportunity to take the game to overtime and allowed the Cardinals to clinch a Playoff berth that night.

NFL fans across the country were held on the edge of their seats as the Vikings pulled back from 10 points down in the final quarter and when Bridgewater moved the Vikings to the 31 yard line with what should have been the final drive in the fourth it looked like the game would be heading to a mouthwatering overtime showdown.

But as Bridgewater went to throw the ball, Freeney managed to get a hand onto the quarterback's arm mid-throw to knock the ball loose. Calls Campbell punched on the loose ball and the game was dramatically and suddenly over.

It would be harsh to blame Bridgewater for the ending, seeing as the Vikings' comeback was very much based on his good work. The quarterback ended the game passing for 335 yards and a touchdown. Carson Palmer threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns for the Cardinals.
