Steelers History: Steelers Defense Proves to Be Its Best Offense

The Cincinnati Bengals added a win to the series against the Pittsburgh Steelers in week three when they took advantage of the absence of T. J. Watt. Overall, the Steelers are 67-37 ahead and lead 32-20 in Cincinnati as they seek a hat trick of wins in Paul Brown Stadium this weekend.

The history between the teams show that in the post Terry Bradshaw days of the early eighties the teams were evenly matched.

1983 was the beginning of the post-Bradshaw era when Cliff Stoudt became the Steelers starting quarterback. Bradshaw had surgery on a torn muscle in his throwing arm, so Stoudt got the chance to take to the field.
