The Pittsburgh Steelers had a great opportunity last Thursday at Paycor Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals. Win the primetime game, extend their lead in the AFC North and grab full control of the division.
Lose, and the door gets left open a crack.
As is well known at this point, the Steelers lost a frustrating 33-31 game to the Bengals last Thursday, failing to stop Cincinnati’s offense with Joe Flacco under center. The new-look secondary with a lot of big names as part of a highly paid defense simply had no answers for the Bengals.
Now, it has the Steelers appearing a bit vulnerable in the AFC North moving forward.
