8:15 p.m. ET: No. 6 Pittsburgh (10-6) at No. 3 Cincinnati (12-4), Paul Brown Stadium (CBS). Baaaad flashback for Marvin Lewis and many Cincinnatians. Jan., 8, 2006—10 years ago this week—Carson Palmer went back on the first pass drop of the game, released a bomb downfield for Chris Henry, and got his knee caved in by defensive tackle Kimo von Oelhoffen of the Stealers. Completed pass; gain of 66. Torn ACL, however. And the Stealers stole a 31-17 win from the division champion Bengals. Lewis still hasn’t won a playoff game. This is his 13th season, and he’s 0-6. This time, Andy Dalton hopes to be coming back from a broken thumb on his throwing hand. He’ll see a hand specialist today and hopes to get his cast removed and have enough range of motion to play a playoff game and exorcise recent playoff demons. Dalton’s pushing it, though, to think he can be normal and pick up where he left off 27 days after breaking the thumb in the first place. “Andy’s very optimistic,” Lewis told me Saturday. “I feel he’s got an opportunity to play next weekend—but we’re going to err on the side of caution.” The problem for Cincinnati: Backup AJ McCarron has played well in Dalton’s absence, but it’ll be hard enough to win a shootout with Ben Roethlisberger if Dalton’s on the other side of the field. That just adds more pressure on Dalton to come back and win his first playoff game after losing the playoff opener in his first four NFL seasons.

Prime time Saturday under the lights vs the back from the dead Frankensqueelers.  Die, Squeelers, Die indeed.

However, the perfect opportunity to kill a trifecta of criticisms: win in prime time, get a playoff win and beat the Squeels to boot.  I like it.

Weather for Saturday night (per weather.com) is low of 39 Saturday night and 50% chance of rain.

Get out there and snap up those extra playoff tics.
