Cincinnati vs Pittsburgh Game Preview


Why Cincinnati Will Win

How healthy is Ben Roethlisberger?

The answer to that is always negative, and then he plays. It’s the same this week – he’s a go with a pectoral injury – but he’s certainly not 100%.

The Bengals have to get Joe Burrow going again after throwing for just 179 yards with a slew of mistakes in the loss to Chicago.
