For the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, they will likely need their rookie quarterback, Kenny Pickett, to have the first big game of his young career.
Despite the success Pittsburgh had running the football last Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, when looking at the last few matchups between the Steelers and Bengals it is unlikely for that type of rushing performance to continue.
In their past three matchups against Cincinnati, the Steelers have topped out at 75 rushing yards and have averaged 3.2 yards per carry over those three games. Pittsburgh has gone 1-2 in those meetings, and only won their last meeting, Week One of this season, due to dominating the turnover battle and a bit of luck.
