Arthur Smith Downplays Value Of Pat Freiermuth’s Prior Success Vs Bengals With New DC In Town

Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth has enjoyed success against the Bengals during his career, but don’t expect that to translate into a big role Thursday. Over his last six games against Cincinnati, he has recorded at least 75 yards four times, and at least 65 five times. He has also scored in each of his past two games, but does that factor into OC Arthur Smith’s thinking?

Perhaps not a great deal, if his public comments are anything to go by. Asked about Freiermuth’s past success against the Bengals being a factor, he explained that this is a different team.
