How to watch Steelers vs. Bengals in NFL Week 13 with & without cable

After squandering a must-have game against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers had a mini-bye week to prepare to face the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 13. The Bengals have an underwhelming 4-7 record on the season, but the Steelers can't be fooled into letting their guard down.

Quarterback Joe Burrow has been outstanding this season with 27 touchdowns and just four interceptions, as Cincinnati boasts the 6th-best scoring offense in the NFL -- averaging 27.0 points per game.

The Steelers, meanwhile, have had trouble finding paydirt, and their red zone difficulties continued against the Browns in Week 12. Mike Tomlin's crew needs to come out swinging.

Pittsburgh doesn't have a primetime game this week and they will be competing with three other games for viewership on Sunday. Here's how to watch the game with and without cable.
