Steelers Flashback: Bettis, Burress, Defense Lead Steelers To 34-7 Road Win Over Bengals In 2002

By this point in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offseason, you all should know by now that the Steelers open up the 2022 regular season on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals in an AFC North battle that has the Steelers being the hunters, rather than the hunted, changing roles with the Bengals entirely.

During the 2021 season, the Bengals had their way with the Steelers in 24-10 and 41-10 wins in the regular season on their way to winning the AFC North and eventually representing the conference in the Super Bowl last season.

With the Bengals on tap for Week 1 for the Steelers, I wanted to flash back to an earlier time in Steelers-Bengals history where the Steelers made the Bengals look silly, sort of like the Bengals did last season to the Steelers.
