The Cincinnati Bengals are hoping to show their season is not lost this weekend.
After losing quarterback Joe Burrow for the season, most people have written the Bengals off.
Yet, with a record of 5-5, they are still in contention for a playoff spot.
But, a win on Sunday over the Pittsburgh Steelers will go a long way toward playing postseason football.
Unfortunately, Burrow will not be the only Bengals player missing Sunday’s game.
According to Ben Baby, WR Tee Higgins and CB Cam Taylor-Britt will be out on Sunday.

The Bengals are hosting the Steelers in a game that is a must-win for both teams.
It would keep the Bengals in the AFC North race while also keeping them alive for a Wild Card spot.
Facing a tough Steelers defense it will be interesting to see if the Bengals can move the ball.
Taking over for Burrow is 27-year-old quarterback Jake Browning.
He has yet to start a game in his NFL and has only attempted 15 passes in his career.
It seems to be a pretty good bet this will be a low-scoring game.
The Bengals may have to change their identity with a backup quarterback.
Expect a heavy dose of running back Joe Mixon as the Bengals hope to move the football.
Winning games without Burrow will not be easy.
But, the Bengals have good players on both sides of the ball that can help make up for the loss.
The injury bug has bitten the Bengals this year and it might cost them another run at the Super Bowl.
