The Pittsburgh Steelers’ last three outings against the Cincinnati Bengals were, in a word, forgettable. The two matchups against the team’s AFC North rival in 2021 saw the defense struggle to contain eventual AFC Champion quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ high-flying offense. As such, opening the season with a victory against them will be a tall mountain to climb, especially given that the Bengals revamped their offensive line. Steelers stand-out outside linebacker and reigning Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt weighed in on this in a Steelers.com interview Wednesday.
“Yeah I mean it’s no secret that they have a pretty balanced offense,” Watt said when asked about the Bengal’s offense.
