Prediction
Not really much to say here. The Bengals flat out stink, and this is a game where the defense has to step up and take this game by the neck.
Offensively, it would behoove Pittsburgh to pound the ball behind Snell and Samuels, with some play action and a few deep shots to keep the Bengal’s defense honest.
The Bengals have a weak rookie quarterback, their offensive line is garbage– giving Joe Mixon virtually no chance to run the ball, and without A.J. Green, besides Tyler Boyd and Tyler Eifert, who has managed to remain healthy for a few games, the Bengals have no playmakers.
This should be an angry, fed up Steelers team that refuses to blink in the eye of adversity, that find’s it’s footing, and comes up with a way to beat a sub-par team in Cincinnati.
Then hopefully get healthy for the bloodbath that will be the rematch between Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
I will e ugly, but the Steelers WILL win this game.
