Bengals' Chase Brown Out Against Steelers

The Cincinnati Bengals face a challenging playoff scenario as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers without their leading rusher, Chase Brown, who is sidelined due to a sprained ankle. Brown, who accumulated 990 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns this season, was ruled inactive after failing to practice this week. Khalil Herbert is expected to start in his place. Meanwhile, the Steelers will also be missing key players, including cornerback Donte Jackson, who is out with a back injury. To secure a playoff spot, the Bengals must win against the Steelers and rely on losses from the Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos. The last matchup between these teams was a high-scoring affair, with the Steelers winning 44-38.
