ESPN's Marcus Spears on 'NFL Live': Steelers won't beat Bengals without Ben Roethlisberger

It's been more than five years since the Cincinnati Bengals' last win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And any 2-5-1 team going on the road to face an 8-0 team is bound to be an underdog.

But ESPN analyst Marcus Spears said Tuesday on NFL Live that he doesn't think the Steelers will win Sunday in Pittsburgh without starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger - one of five Steelers currently on the team's reserve/COVID-19 list.

"No. I don't," Spears answered when asked whether he thinks the Steelers will beat the Bengals without the former Miami University standout.
