If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to sweep the season series with the Cincinnati Bengals, they must play a much better game than they did in Week One. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are both different teams two months later and this game is going to look very different. Here are the Steelers keys to victory.

In the Week One matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh pulled off a thrilling 23-20 overtime win thanks to a huge defensive performance. If Pittsburgh wants to pull off the sweep, these three guys need much better games than the first time around.

The Pittsburgh Steelers seem to find a way to pull out wins when people least expect it and they’ve done it without lighting up the box score in many cases. This week the Steelers welcome the Cincinnati Bengals to town and we have a sneaking feeling the Bengals are going to play better than the first time this season and Pittsburgh will have to answer on both sides of the ball.

Here are our stat predictions for the top Steelers in all three phases.

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Domante Kazee made his regular-season debut last week against the New Orleans Saints. Kazee had a strong game but unfortunately, his big hit on Saints receiver Chris Olave early in the game drew a penalty and now according to ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler, a fine by the NFL as well. Fowler also indicated Kazee plans to appeal the fine per his agent.

Kazee finished with four tackles and a key interception in the win over the Saints. Kazee joined the Steelers as a free agent in the offseason but had missed the entire season up until last week due to a broken arm. A healthy Kazee gives the Steelers three excellent safeties for the home stretch of the season.

The NFL fined #Steelers safety Damontae Kazee for his sideline hit on #Saints receiver Chris Olave on Sunday, per source. His agent, @Agentbutler1, will appeal.

The firts time the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals squared off, the Steelers pulled off a stunning 20-18 overtime upset. Is it in the cards for the Steelers to do it again at home? Let’s make some bold predictions.

Last week against the New Orleans Saints, the Pittsburgh Steelers dusted off the Wildcat offense for several snaps. On a day when the run game was working, the Wildcat was a nice wrinkle that the Steelers are going to do more of according to running back Najee harris.

“The Wildcat opens up the package options for a lot of stuff,” Harris said. “You can pass, you can do a lot of stuff with it. You can expand it to do a lot of other things, too. So that’s just another way of forcing defenses to gameplan against that.”

It’s really interesting that Harris noted you could pass out of the Wildcat. I honestly thought last week when Harris ran it in the red zone and quarterback Kenny Pickett split out wide, Harris was going to do a throw back. You can bet the Steelers saw on film the defense completely ignored Pickett and might take a shot at getting the football back to him.

Last week the Steelers rushed for 217 yards and four different players had runs of at least 20 yards. Look for Pittsburgh to continue to manufacture ways to run the football and control the clock, including the Wildcat.
