I think we are picking 18th now. 13th was possible with a loss.

No, although its unsettled with games left to play, it's highly unlikely they would have gotten 13th pick. That 13th pick was based on everything going right as far as other teams concerned. That didn't happen today. But if the Steelers were kept out, we would have benefitted from the 17th pick and the Steelers being out. 

Bengals just had an extremely hard strength of schedule. As a result, any ties with other teams meant they were picking before the Bengals. Based on this, I think the Bengals are locked into the 18th pick.
