Bengals/Steelers deserve to be under the prime time lights.
Not to mention I doubt the NFL wants to show everyone a team winning a division and making the playoffs with record below .500, while the Eagles are 9-6 and are going to miss the playoffs

But....they just had the Rams and Seahawks in Sunday Night Week 17 a few years ago and that was 7-8 versus 6-9. Bengals/Steelers is a virtually meaningless game, both teams are in. The NFL is saying it's about FOX losing the week 17 game to SNF for four straight years so they went with CBS instead.
