OPPONENT WEEK 15
Bengals at Steelers, night
The game was not complete when this edition went to press.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Andy Dalton, quarterback
Taken early in the second round (35th overall, 23 picks after Christian Ponder) out of TCU in 2011, Dalton is on track for his best season and his third playoff berth. He entered Sunday night's game with an 87.7 passer rating and 25 touchdown passes.
OUTLOOK
Another cold, maybe snowy outdoor game for the beat-up Vikings means Dalton will have the edge. The Vikings have played hard down the stretch, but still ... Outlook: Horns down.
