The Steelers will be facing the Bengals this Saturday in their second meeting this year. Since their first matchup in Week 12, Cincinnati has leapfrogged the Steelers in the AFC playoff race, sitting at 8-6 to Pittsburgh’s 7-7. Pittsburgh won their first game against the Bengals this year, but haven’t managed to win since, entering Saturday’s game on a three-game skid.
The Steelers will have a tougher time defeating Cincinnati this week than they did in Week 12. Although the Bengals’ roster is largely the same, the team looks much stronger and more confident at this point in the season.
